It sounds as though:

() Reviewers are a little uncomfortable with the memory footprint and
    allocation/free
() The patch as it stands relies on the pattern of "usage" values repeating
    for each touch, and deeming the last one in the repetition pattern to
    be the last-slot-field marker.

If this is the case, how about avoiding storing all the slot-field values
and just detecting the point of repetition to use the most-recently-seen
usage value as the last-slot-field marker.  I have been successfully using
the patch below based on this notion.  It took the failure rate from about
1-per-10 boots to 250+ boots with no failures on an Atmel MaXTouch.
I don't have others to try it with, including the "buggy" one that led
to all this trouble in the first place.

Patch follows:

Subject: [PATCH] Repair detection of last slot in multitouch reports

The logic for detecting the last per-touch slot in a
multitouch report erroneously used hid usage values (large
numbers such as 0xd0032) as indices into the smaller absbit
bitmap (with bit indexes up to 0x3f).  This caused
intermittent failures in the configuration of the last-slot
value leading to stale x,y coordinates being reported in
multi-touch input events.  It also carried the risk of a
segmentation fault due to the out-of-range bitmap index.

This patch takes a different approach of detecting the last
per-touch slot:  when the hid usage value wraps around to
the first hid usage value we have seen already, we must be
looking at the slots for the next touch of a multi-touch
report, so the last hid usage value we have seen so far must
be the last per-touch value.
