    if i8042 internal buffer is completely filled before i8042 
initialization starting, function i8042_controller_check will fail because
i8042_flush returns I8042_BUFFER_SIZE although i8042 internal buffer is 
completely cleared and I8042_STR_OBF bit of i8042 status register is cleared.
    To reproduce this bug, holding any key down while the kernel booting from 
scratch. After system is up, no i8042 entry in /sys/bus/platform/devices directory and
key press is not responded.
I believe this problem shoudl be fixed by commit
2f0d2604134880f739642fd7c3ae55db33c838e7

Thanks.
