Hi Andy,

I agree, that this behaviour seems somehow little strange. Thibaut Varene
complained too.
But on the other side without this auto-enablement of the GSC PS/2 controller
users maybe enable PS/2 mouse and/or PS/2 keyboard and miss enabling the
GSC PS/2 controller too - with the result, that neither keyboard or mouse would
work when the kernel is booted....

Personally I prefer the automatic enablement. Even on iA32 this is the default now.

Best regards,
Helge
