who broke keyboards again?

I have a client that has several dell machines, when he boots without
a keyboard he gets:
atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0
but no:
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0
kbd0 at atkbd0
This used to work, then was broken by someone trying to "do the right
thing".
We need the keyboards to be hot swappable. I recommend that the next
dork that breaks this should have to reenact the lye scene from Fight
Club.
No other OS has this problem. Also, breaking this in -stable is
super lame, c'mon can't we do better?
