It does, correctly, identify the keyboard and mode port, so it's
somewhat odd that it doesn't get used...

Indeed. The only other observation in the older kernel that works
it detects the AUX port first.

Booting with 'i8042.debug' will spit some more output into dmesg, which 
might help us to see if i8042 is really properly initialized, or something 
strange is going on during initialization.
