Indeed. While this worked, it gives me pause to reconsider the re-enabling
of pms0 in the generic kernel.

The dmesg output from my successful mouse-less reboot still contained the
pms0 probe output (from memory so it isn't exact)

	pms0 at vt0 port 0x__ irq 12

Why did it "find" it even though the mouse was not plugged in? Is this some
kind of support for hot-pluggable mice on the PS/2 port? If so, then in the
case where it panic'd, such support would never have worked, because irq 12
was already reassigned by the BIOS.
