Linux-2.6.28, as compiled by Arch Linux developers, thinks that my
PS/2 mouse (a cheap M-BT58 optical wheel mouse by Logitech) is
actually a touchpad.  This makes it unusable.  Adding the "proto=imps"
parameter to the psmouse module helps.

Oh dear. The first victim of this driver... :(

As we can see below the mouse gets detected as an Elantech touchpad.
This means that it reacts to the Elantech magic knock with the exact
same response we expect from a real Elantech touchpad.
I am affected too. I am getting:

input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input2
elantech.c: Elantech version query result 0x00, 0x01, 0x64.
elantech.c: assuming hardware version 1, firmware version 0.100
elantech.c: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x00, 0x02, 0x64.
input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /class/input/input3
So how about we try to solve it by duplicating the version query in
elantech_detect() and check for sane values. Dmitry, do you think something
like this would be acceptable?
