  updates for the mei driver, resolves misc touchpad regressions, and
  includes misc bug fixes for the apple-gmux driver.  This will also be
  uploaded to the q-lts-backport [1] PPA to help facilitate testing of the
  12.10 kernel in 12.04.  We welcome anyone to please install, test, and
  let us know your feedback.
