Title:
  remove i2c-i801 from blacklist

Status in HWE Next:

Bug description:
  We have a Lenovo Thinkpad machine that requires i2c-i801 kernel module
  to work, but it is listed in /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf in Ubuntu.
  To use the touchpad, users have to remove the i2c-i801 line manually.

  i2c-i801 in blacklist.conf is a very old workaround to fix HP compaq nc6000
  (Bug #16602), this module should be removed from blacklist.

  There is also another bug (Bug #1475945) that needs this module for
  Acer trackpad to work.
