Why?!

        - i386 uses INSECURE so that the X server works "out of the box".
          It's not necessary on the Alpha.

        - pckbc* is perfectly legitimate, and I think cloned devices
          are more appropriate in GENERIC than wired devices.  The
          only reason this wasn't cloned in the i386 port is because
          it used to use __BROKEN_INDIRECT_CONFIG; it would actually work
          now.
