Lookie, lookie:

                Device (PS2K)
                {
                    Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0303"))
                    Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP030B"))
                    Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        ShiftLeft (One, 0x0A, Local0)
                        If (And (IOST, Local0))
                        {
                            Return (0x0F)
                        }

                        Return (Zero)
                    }
...

                Device (PS2M)
                {
                    Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0F03"))
                    Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0F13"))
                    Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {

But I guess because there are no devices plugged in ACPI they are "inactive" 
and thus ACPI drop them. I was always wondered by ACPI did that. Len?
