Ok, I got fed up about it. The patch referred above is obviously wrong since
it leaves interrupts at 0 when a device_type or name of 8042 is found,
so what about the following? 

I can ship it with a signed-off-by and proper comments a bit later if people agree.

Compiled and tested, otherwise I couldn't even type this message :-)
