[PATCH 0/2] A couple of workarounds for Xen based VPS services
Several Xen based VPS providers (Rackspace Cloud Servers, Slicehost, and Amazon EC2 just to name a few) are faced with (at least :) ) two problems with the current Xen support in the kernel. Mostly, these problems stem from the fact that there are many different guest distro's with very different levels of flexib... 14 May 2010 12:48

[PATCH 3/3] input: Default to only using PNP for i8042 probing on x86
Experimenting with Windows has revealed that it will not probe the keyboard controller unless a valid PNPACPI device is present. Change our behaviour to match, and add a new i8042.forcedprobe parameter to allow people to override it.

[PATCH 2/3] input: Add a PNP entry to the aux device list
Windows checks for an ALPS PS/2 device in PNP. Add it on the off-chance that there's a machine that expresses this without also providing a compatibility ID.

[PATCH 1/3] input: Add some extra PNP keyboard types
Some Japanese machines declare their keyboard with a different PNP ID. Add it to the list of probed device IDs. While we're at it, add all the other IDs that Windows binds to - we'll probably never see them in the real world, but it doesn't hurt.
