That's an unfortunate fix.  Is there really no way in which we
can auto-detect such a situation without requiring a manual
setting?

The fact that the current detection hangs suggests that the scenario is
possible to detect.

Hm, OK.  I'll go back and look at i8042_flush() to see if I can detect this
erroneous situation automatically and fail the i8042_controller_init() if I see it.
