 Hmm.  So the "problem" is your BIOS putting the keyboard resources on the PS/2 
 port.  You can fix this by editing your AML and moving the IO Port resources
 out of _CRS for the PS2M device and moving them to the PS2K device instead.
 
 However, fixing it automatically would be a bigger pain as we would need to
 patch both the atkbdc and psmcpnp drivers to cooperate to move the I/O ports
 over.  We already have a similar hack for handling IRQ 12.  We should perhaps
 expand that further so that we have atkbdc somehow attach to both PS/2 devices
 and merge any resources into a single logical device.
