-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit f8313ef1f448006207f12c107123522c8bc00f15 upstream.

i8042 controller present in Dell Vostro V13 errorneously signals spurious
timeouts.

Introduce i8042.notimeout parameter for ignoring i8042-signalled timeouts
and apply this quirk automatically for Dell Vostro V13, based on DMI match.

In addition to that, this machine also needs to be added to nomux blacklist.
