Touch events lost during garbage collection, need kernel-level buffering

[luke]

Just filed issue 1742 -- http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1742

Touch events are lost by Android during GC -- including touch-down and
touch-up events (not a good thing!) but also including intermediate
drag positions.

Is there anything that can be done at the kernel level to buffer and
timestamp these events properly, so that they are not lost, but are
delivered during a drag regardless of irregular response time delays
of the UI thread? This is really putting a damper on an app I'm
trying to develop...

Thanks!
