NAME
gsckbc -- GSC PS/2 keyboard and mouse interface
SYNOPSIS
gsckbc* at gsc?
pckbd* at gsckbc?
pms* at gsckbc?
DESCRIPTION
The gsckbc device is a machine dependent front end to the pckbport(9)
interface. It attaches to the GSC PS/2 keyboard and mouse interface
found in LASI chips.
DIAGNOSTICS
gsckbc_attach: can't map I/O space The driver was not able to map the
device registers during attachment. The device will not be usable.
can't find master device An error occured during attachment of the key-
board port so the mouse port can't be attached too.

BUGS
Actually the two PS/2 ports are a single device and share a single inter-
rupt. The firmware lists them as individual devices in the firmware
device tree. This illusion is kept to map the firmware device tree as
close as possible to the kernel device tree. The first device is caled
master, gets the interrupt and the other is the slave. Assumption: Mas-
ter attaches first, gets the interrupt and has lower HPA. So it is
important that the master device, usually the keyboard port, attaches
first to make the slave, usually the mouse port, usable.
