[PATCH] Make appletouch shut up when it has nothing to say

[Matthew Garrett]

The appletouch devices found in the Intel Macs (and possibly some later 
PPC ones?) send a constant stream of packets after the first touch. This 
results in the kernel waking up around once every couple of milliseconds 
to process them, making it almost impossible to spend any significant 
period of time in C3 state on a dynamic HZ kernel. Sending the mode 
initialisation code makes the device shut up until it's touched again. 
This patch does so after receiving 10 packets with no interesting 
content.
