I need to work on several projects so will not have time to look at this
again this week.  I rebased our work on Kevin Cernekee's 14-part
submission to linux-input.  His patchset cleaned-up/refactored a lot of
the messier code along with a more comprehensive init sequence for the
Dell E6XXX series.  Ben's V5 init sequence is no longer necessary.  The
new dlkm is at [1].

The one final step that needs to be taken is to reconcile florin9doi's
init sequence for my Dell N5110 and a Fujitsu a512.  The systems have
the same E7/EC signatures but appear to have different init sequences.
When I use the Fujitsu a512 init sequence, my system is stuck in PS/2
3-byte format and, apparently, the converse is true for the Fujitsu.

I have re-added the alps_debug sysfs interface to toggle packet debug
and switch between the new V5 (was V6) init sequences for the N5110 and
a512.  This can only be done by setting the alps_debug bit and
rebuilding; I couldn't get it to work on-the-fly.

We are almost to the point of a submitting a final patchset to resolve a
LOT of ALPS touchpad bugs.
