Since the commit in the title, a kernel built on an HP Mini 110 Netbook no
longer has keyboard input. The main difference is that CONFIG_SERIO_I8042 is no 
longer defined. When this equal yes, the keyboard works. The faulty commit was 
located by bisection and has been verified by reverting the patch.

Further investigation shows that the faulty hunk is

           i8042 is the chip over which the standard AT keyboard and PS/2
           mouse are connected to the computer. If you use these devices,

Reverting this one hunk alone results in a working system. Obviously, this
Netbook does not have X86_MRST set.
