  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  info.product = 'Keyboard controller (i8042)'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'platform'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/atkbdc_0'  (string)
  platform.id = 'atkbdc.0'  (string)
  pnp.description = 'IBM Enhanced (101/102-key, PS/2 mouse support)'  (string)
  pnp.id = 'PNP0303'  (string)

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/atkbd_0'
  freebsd.device_file = '/dev/atkbd0'  (string)
  freebsd.driver = 'atkbd'  (string)
  freebsd.unit = 0  (0x0)  (int)
  info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
