If it is, it should be updated to simply check for "if (x86_apple_machine)"
in lieu of the DMI check.

Also, Dmitry said here that it should go to i8042_platform_init() in
drivers/input/serio/i8042-x86ia64io.h:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1005.0/00959.html

That function already bails out if x86_platform.legacy.i8042 ==
X86_LEGACY_I8042_PLATFORM_ABSENT.  The check could either be
amended with "|| x86_apple_machine" or early_platform_quirks()
in arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c could be amended to set
x86_platform.legacy.i8042 on an x86_apple_machine.

Thanks,

Lukas
