There's no PS/2 port but the PS/2 controller exists on the chipset.
Also, the BIOS probably sets up the USB controller to emulate a legacy
PS/2 keyboard. So disabling the PS/2 keyboard/mouse in the
kernel could help. I'm not sure boot -c is enough in this
case, as I guess the console (and so pckbc) gets a minimal initialisation
before userconf is invoked.
