Do you have a PS/2 keyboard and/or mouse attached to your computer?

I reproduced similar output on my board with no PS/2 device attached. (I don't 
own any PS/2 keyboard/mouse so I can't test the other cases)
It seems that the PS/2 controller is disabled on startup.
When the i8042 kbd driver probes the KBD0 device _STA reports that the device 
isn't enabled. It then seems to read the I/O ports (which are uninitialized, 
so 0x00, 0x00) so it tries to enable it and either it fails or really enables 
it and reports a failure (I'm not yet sure about the reason, I couldn't find 
much info about error -16 yet). Anyway later when the aux driver probes PS2M 
it is enabled, so this one doesn't fail.

Can you send the output from superiotool -d? I would like to see if there are 
really only zeroes in the keyboard controller IO port registers.

Oops, yes these are copy-paste errors. I'll correct them.

BTW, thanks for testing the code
