It looks like the change will only work for non-USB input devices since
USB subsystem is initialized much later.
Greg, is there a reason why USB can't be initialized earlier?
Btw, I don't think we need to initialize gameport early and maybe not
entire input but split off input/keyboard in the same fashion that
input/serio and input/gameport are split off.
