Hello. I understand what is the problem with the `psm' driver when used
with ALPUS GlidePoint. I will turn off the bit checking by default.

BTW, that bit is said to be always 1, according to some docs. Now that
I know the bit is not set in that way, there will be no way to re-sync
with the data packet from the PS/2 mouse once we have become out of
sync (due to lost interrupt or something) ;-<
