As far as evdev is concerned those are almost certainly just perfectly normal buttons, i.e., they send a 'button press' event. The fact that they also function as part of the touch-sensitive surface is probably irrelevant. So evdev would see your touchpad as one with buttons, and wouldn't enable tap-to-click.
