Hi!

Here's GPLed driver for thinkpad fingerprint sensor. It is in
userspace -- for now, but it is so simple it could be easily moved
into kernel (everything is done in hardware).

Questions are:

*) should it be kernel or userspace?

*) can someone test it/fix it on X41 and similar models? It works okay
on x60.

*) are there other similar sensors? I know one in-kernel driver that
produces images, this is quite different.

The z60m has a sensor as well. I give this a shot soon and see if it works.
