Staying in multi-touch mode after closing the device sometimes makes
the keyboard drop keys or repeat keys irratically. The conjecture is
that some internal buffer starts to overflow, resulting in undefined
behavior. Switching back to normal mode when closing the device makes
the problem go away.

The mousedev driver requires the use of BTN_TOUCH events to process
ABS_X and ABS_Y events properly, which is what is needed for the
bcm5974-based apple computers to have a functional pointer out-of-the-box.

The problem of finger tracking, i.e., when to switch focus from one
finger to another on the trackpad, has been improved by utilizing more
information from the bcm5974 chip output. This results in less pointer
hopping when many fingers are on the trackpad. In addition, a finger
counting method based on pressure information from all fingers is
introduced. Together with a pressure hysteresis window, this yields a
more stable counting of the number of fingers on the trackpad.

This driver adds support for the multitouch trackpad on the new
Apple Macbook Air and Macbook Pro Penryn laptops. It replaces the
appletouch driver on those computers, and integrates well with the
synaptics driver of the Xorg system.
