 So it does work properly if you turn off PS/2 emulation in the BIOS.
 But this is annoying to do, so we need a better solution.
 
 I think the best bet is to do a mini-enumeration of the PCI devices
 when it's time to attach the console (i.e., very early), and look
 for USB controllers that have legacy emulation turned on.
