Elantech Touchpad support?

[Dave MacFarlane]

As far as I know, most trackpads are over the PS/2 "port", and boot up
emulating a PS/2 mouse then switch to a richer packet format which
includes the multitouch/pressure/etc information after receiving a
magic command sequence.

I've attached dmesg from both OpenBSD and Dragonfly. Note that pms0 is
identified as "Elantech Clickpad, version 4, firmware 0x38af0a" in the
OpenBSD version but just "Generic PS/2 mouse" under DFlyBSD.

(I'm not sure if it's the kernel or X server's job to negotiate the
protocol, but even if it's X then I don't think the right
configuration is getting loaded since it's being misreported as a
generic mouse.)
