Hello stable-tree maintainers.

Please apply the upstream git commit c36b58e8a9112017c2bcc322cc98e71241814303
(Input: xen-kbdfront - fix mouse getting stuck after save/restore)
which fixes a regression introduced by 8c3c283e6bf463ab498d6e7823aff6c4762314b6
(Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative coordinates)

The 2.6.38 and 2.6.37 tree both contain the regression.

For convience, attached and inline is the patch for stable tree submission.

Input: xen-kbdfront - fix mouse getting stuck after save/restore

Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working
condition.

If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get
XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting
XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get
into user-space.

Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of
5ea5254aa0ad269cfbd2875c973ef25ab5b5e9db
("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative
coordinates").

Driver on restore should ask xen for request-abs-pointer again if it is
available. So restore parts that did it before 5ea5254.
