I have Dell Latitude D600, which does not have an external PS/2 port.

But actually, I was caught away from home, working from a library, so I did
not have either PS/2 or USB mouse. I moved the cursor persistently for a
few minutes until I managed to raise a window in such way that it got the
focus, then I saved all files and closed all windows from the keyboard,
so no harm done, no problem.

The kernel was running without resetafter set, unfortunately.

If you have a patch which prints offending data from pktbuffer, I can
run that next time.

Have a great day,
