These patches are superseeded upstream and can be dropped entirely:

UBUNTU: [Upstream] Input: evdev - convert to dynamic event buffer
UBUNTU: [Upstream] Input: evdev - use driver hint to compute size of event
Input: introduce MT event slots
input: mt: Initialize slots to unused (rev2)
mt: Add support for the Bamboo Touch trackpad
Revert input: mt: Add support for the Bamboo Touch trackpad
UBUNTU: SAUCE: Input: wacom - parse the Bamboo device family
UBUNTU: SAUCE: Input: wacom - collect device quirks into single function
UBUNTU: SAUCE: Input: wacom - add support for the Bamboo Touch trackpad
UBUNTU: SAUCE: Input: wacom - add a quirk for low resolution Bamboo devices
hid: 3m: Convert to MT slots

These patches may reappear in a different form depending on 2.6.38 progress:

UBUNTU: SAUCE: hid: ntrig: remove sysfs nodes
UBUNTU: SAUCE: hid: ntrig: Setup input filtering manually
UBUNTU: SAUCE: hid: ntrig: New ghost-filtering event logic
UBUNTU: SAUCE: hid: ntrig: identify firmware version (wiggled)
