There is a Zilog serial for the keyboard/mouse. The SuperIO chip is
used to supply a "com" which is for the normal port on the back of the
system.
What we need to do for the keyboard/mouse is teach the sun kbd/ms drivers
to understand the pckbd/pms keyboard and mouse protocols.
Sigh, if only for STREAMS.
