Resending modified patch to fix suspend/resume issues and restricting the
quirks to Dell portables only.

Dell E2 series laptops ( M4500, E6510, E6410 etc.) have ALPS touchpads
which are enabled by default as 3-byte generic PS/2 mouse mode. This
patch enables the 4-byte "Intellimouse Mode" ( e.g scrolling support).

This seems to have never been merged. Adding Dmitry to CC -- Dmitry, do 
you see any issues with the patch, or has it just slipped through cracks?

Jiri,

I do not want to merge this patch into mainline - it is a crutch that
only works on Dell boxes whereas these touchpads are in abundance
everywhere and we even have initialization sequence captured. So I am
hoping someone who has hardware would spend some time and write proper
support.

Thanks.
