Subject: [PATCH]Amoi laptop touchpad detection problem, should be in i8042 NOMUX blacklist.

Recently, I had test Red Flag Linux on an AMOI laptop(AMOI is PC
vendor in China), found that the alps touchpad on this laptop can not
be recognized automatically. after added the i8042.nomux to the kernel
options, the touchpad works.

So I made this patch, maybe somebody need this.

The VENDOR and PRODUCT_NAME is dumped from dmidecode.
