Basically every "free" serio port is tried by every serio driver, so, depending
on link order and other factors psmouse driver can try both KBD and AUX port
and atkbd can do the same.

It should not as the first thing we try is GET_ID command which is the same for
keyboard and mouse and we did not get any response.

OK, so it looks like it did not work. I wonder if we could try resetting the
mouse by sticking psmouse_reset before trying to isse the GETID command.
