[PATCH 2.6] Mousedev - tapping support for touchpads in absolute mode (Synaptics)

[Dmitry Torokhov]

Hi,

The patch below implements tapping support for touchpads working in absolute
mode so Synaptics users do not need use psmouse.proto=imps to have tapping in
absence of native X driver/GPM support. The new kernel parameter
mousedev.tap_time=<msecs> controls the feature, use 0 to disable tapping.

The patch is on top of other mousedev patch I posted earlier.
