I use a USB mouse, so I haven't tested it out and haven't merged it into
g-d-s.  If I get any positive feedback on its effect, I'll include it in
the next 2.6.11-rX, but I think 2.6.12 might be out before we need one.

This has greatly improved my u2's stability when smp and has been merged
for the next g-d-s-2.6.11 release.  I still have an oops when halting
the system, but I haven't had time to look into that more closely.  This
patch is also merged into mainline.

If you need their functionality, then feel free to apply them manually.
