Bugzilla # 16395: Regression in 2.6.35-rc4 since commit 0b28bac5aef7bd1ab213723df031e61db9ff151aon HP Mini 110 Netbook

[Larry Finger]

Since the commit in the title, a kernel built on an HP Mini 110 Netbook no

          i8042 is the chip over which the standard AT keyboard and PS/2
          mouse are connected to the computer. If you use these devices,
