I wish I could help you more.  Unfortunately I'm not an expert on the
PS/2 port hardware.  I can say it seems to work fine on the epia-m,
but who knows.

You shouldn't see handle_74 messages unless something actually
requests the mouse.  If you want to see them, start freedos, run
the "edit" command, and then move the mouse.

As a guess, maybe coreboot isn't fully initializing the ps2 port.  If
you're getting keyboard irqs on a mouse move that sounds wrong.

I've verified that the mouse works both under qemu and on the epia-m.
You just need to run an old dos program that uses the bios mouse
calls.
