The Arch users can simply select to build i8042 into the kernel as a
workaround.

The proper solution is to allow loading libps2 module even if i8042 did not

find

its device. I wish I could simply drop this i8042_lock_chip and stuff, but
unfortunately i8042 ports are not truly independent. We need to figure a
way for libps2 to engage locking in i8042 if the driver is loaded, otherwise

just

quoted

ignore it.

When I first wrote this driver, we took the decision not to replicate all the
code in the at keyboard driver and to
make this  a serio based driver. I like the proposal made by Dmitry here.

Thanks for explaining the background, KY!
I like Dmitry's proposal too.
