I8042 has been converted to use platform_driver_probe() - we are creating 
platform device and platform driver together, there is no chance that some 
other device might be driven by i8042 driver.

Eric, do you still need to fiddle with i8042 to get your keyboard working with 
2.6.32-rc3? We need to make sure that resube works without users needing to 
mess with bind/unbind.
