[PATCH] hid-input: Use a larger event buffer for MT devices

["Henrik Rydberg" <rydberg@euromail.se>]

The MT devices produce a lot of data. Tell the underlying input device
approximately how many events will be sent per synchronization, to allow
for better buffering. The number is a template based on continuously
reporting details for each finger on a single hand.

Hi Jiri,

This patch goes together with the evdev buffer patchset, which Dmitry
is going to queue for 2.6.36.

Cheers,
Henrik
