what about looking at the current keyboard driver ?  It looks to me like it
shouldn't be too difficult to work from the assumption that kbd_read_input is
RCVDATA, kbd_read_status is STATUS, KBD_STAT_OBF is RBNE, KBD_STAT_IBF is TBNE,
KBD_STAT_MOUSE_OBF we don't need, KBD_STAT_GTO is TERR and KBD_STAT_PERR is
PERR.

looking at it again, the bit correlations are:

8042		Lasi
0-1		0-1
6-7		2-3
2-5		unimplemented
unimplemented	4-7

assuming there is a 8042-compatible chip inside lasi, it just seems to get the
line for bit 2 as both input line 2 and 3 (and there's some additional logic
around it).
