bypass the 8042 test..

Trying to install FreeBSD any version greater 5.0, on an OLD HP pavilion zvXXXX
series, with both AMD or INTEL P2 the machine HANGS or POWER OFF.

This is a problem with the keyboard controller that the test routine in the
FreeBSD kernel tests for the presence of controller CHIP.

a patch that does not test for the controller solve the problem , Perhaps a
flag in the HINTS, should be implemented, because for, sure there are other ILL
fated notebooks around.

I bought a quite new ZV5000 P4 for $30 and works very good.. amazing sound,
graphics... 

After this patch, it runs FreeBSD 11 CURRENT to the fullest. I tested also on
R10.0 and R10.3
