So, once again I've tried applying Greg's trackpoint patch to -current...
And, once again, I'm having problem :-)

The first problem is that the line

vrpiu* at vrip? addr 0x0b000120 size 0x1a0 intr 5

is supposed to be commented out, but that line does't exist in the config
file :-)

Instead, there's a line:

vrpiu* at vrc4173bcu? addr 0x0a0 size 0x20 addr2 0x0c0 size2 0x20 unit VRPIU   # VRC4173 PIU

I went ahead and commented that line out instead.

I then added the line:

vrdsiu* at vrip? addr 0x0b0001a0 size 0x20 intr 21

I edited out the 'wsmouse* at vrpiu? mux0' line and added the
'wsmouse* at vrdsiu? mux0' as shown in Greg's instructions.

I also modified files.hpcmips as Greg outlines.

As soon as I go to run config, though, I get the following error:

../../../../arch/hpcmips/conf/files.hpcmips:425: undefined attribute `vrip'
*** Stop.

Obviously something has changed with the vrip code somewhere along the
line...  I just don't know what.
