Here is a new patch that moves the ALPS code to a separate file. The
logic in ALPS_process_packet() has also gone through a few iterations
with Johan Braennlund as a tester, so that it actually even works now,
at least with his touchpad.

Note though that the potential problems mentioned by Neil Brown in his
initial announcement have not been dealt with:

It appears (but see 1) that it is not possible to reliably detect
an ALPS device.
...
So the current code always sends the ALPS set-absolute-mode
sequence (4 disables before the enable) unless a
non-3-byte-protocol device was detected.

There are two consequences of always assuming an ALPS that may not
be good.
1) The mouse always claims to generate various ABS events even
when there might not be any ABS-generating device behind the
mouse.
2) The driver could misinterpret a normal mouse event that
overflowed in the negative direction for both X and Y as part
of an ALPS absolute event. This is because ALPS absolute
events are detected by checking if the top 5 bits of the first
byte are all one. I doubt this is a real problem as double
overflows are very unlikely (aren't they?)
