NACK: you are going to break a *lot* of multitouch panels with this change.

Please target the modification to only touchpads that are following
the Precision Touchpad spec. Even there, I will need to be sure that
there will be no side effect, but we will have a much thiner spectre
than blindly enabling this.

For the record, Windows 7 touchscreens used to put any meaning in the
confidence tag.

Cheers,
Benjamin
