Subject: keyboard and mouse regresions as of dc87c398 plus cfs-v7

I just tried out git as of commit dc87c398 plus Ingo's cfs v6 patch.

I'll try out w/o the patch to confirm later this morning.

The kernel log shows no indication of a problem, but the (ps/2) mice do
not work, and the keyboard repeat is *very* slow, and will not speed up
if changed with xset(1x).

>From dmesg(1):

[   25.448092] PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:KBC,PNP0f13:PS2M] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12
[   25.460470] serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
[   25.466816] serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
[   25.473262] mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
[   25.484605] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input3
[   25.497339] input: PC Speaker as /class/input/input4

but no /class/input entry gets generated for the mice.

/proc/interupts shows 5 ints for irq 12, and that does not increment no
matter what is done to the trackpoint, syn pad or external ps/2 mouse.

My last known good version was 0f851021c0f91e5073fa89f26b5ac68e23df8e11
plus the rt patch.

To get dc87c398 plus cfs-v7 I cloned, checked out v2.6.21, applied the
cfs-v7 patch and then pulled in master.
