[Karmic] SRU: Re-review of dangling Karmic patches

There are currently 3 Karmic patches (beside of others yet to come) which have
been applied to the tree in the gray time in between Karmic final and pre-SRU.
So I re-send those, so we can get a more formal review of those.

1. SRU Justification:

Impact: The default of the synaptics driver would take a too high repeat
rate and cause problems on the Toshiba Protege M300.

Fix: Add a quirk which checks for this model and does the right thing.

2. SRU justification:

Impact: Some USB devices claim to support long sense data but when sense
is requested, they will fail to do so. But they work when only short sense
is requested.

Fix: Try long format first but if that fails fall back to short sense data.
This patch is accepted in upstream stable.

3. SRU justification:

Impact: The nx protection patch incorrectly would tell users that it is enabled
even on hardware that does not support it.

Fix: Adding a case for unsupported hw and print a warning when this is encountered.
