    14.2 Release HW Notes: cleanup keyboard/pointing
    
    For the Release HW Note template and 14.2:
    Move keyboards and pointing devices to the top of the Misc section.
    Remove inaccurate architecture limitation labels. Fill them in a bit,
    and note that human input devices are in Misc in the USB section,
    and clean those up a little.
    
    Looking at past HW release notes, these architecture limitation labels
    appear to come from 7.0R when all the different hardware architecture
    release notes were merged. Back then, this section said:
    [amd64, i386, ia64, pc98]. I assume ia64 and pc98 were dropped as they
    were dropped, and that is why amd64 and i386 remained.
    
    This commit removes FAX-Modem/PCCARD (requested by emaste).
