Active PS/2 multiplexing is a method for attaching up to four PS/2
pointing devices to a computer. Enabling of multiplexed mode allows
commands to be directed to individual devices using routing prefixes.
Multiplexed mode reports input with each byte tagged to identify
its source. This method differs from one currently supported by psm(4)
where so called guest device (trackpoint) is attached to special
interface located on the host device (touchpad) and latter performs
guest protocol conversion to special encapsulation packet format.
At present time active PS/2 multiplexing is used in some models of
HP laptops e.g. EliteBook 8560w, 9470m. Enabling of absolute operation
mode on such touchpads is connected with following problems:
1. Touchpad's port priority is lower than trackpoint's. That blocks
information queries thus prevents touchpad detection and configuration.
2. Touchpad and trackpoint have different protocol packet sizes and
sync bytes.
As PS/2 usage is on decline only minimal possible set of changes to
support Synaptics touchpad and generic mouses is implemented.
Active multiplexing mode is enabled only at probe stage to scan through
attached PS/2 devices to query and configure Synaptics touchpad.
After touchpad has been configured, mux is switched back to legacy
(hidden multiplexing) mode to perform normal interrupt-driven input
data processing. Overflow bit values rather than tags are used to
separate packets produced by different devices. Switching back to
legacy mode allows to avoid psm(4) and atkbd(4) rework to support
4 instances of mouse driver.
Note: While in hidden multiplexing mode KBC does some editing of the
packet stream. It remembers the button bits from the last packet
received from each device, and replaces the button bits of every
packet with the logical OR of all devices’ most recent button bits.
This sort of button crosstalk results in spurious button events
which are inhibitted with various tricks. E.g. trackpoint middle
button events are suppressed while trackpad surface is touched and
touchpad left and right button events are suppressed if corresponding
trackpoint buttons are pressed.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
This probably supports other devices based on SeaBIOS, which need
to be added to the smbios based quirks table.
The functionality has been ported from DragonFlyBSD and adapted
to FreeBSD's more general purpose environment.
Devices not covered by a quirk shouldn't be affected at all. Thanks
to jhb and kostikbel for reviewing the code.

allow the child atkbd device to reuse that IRQ resource instead of
reallocating the same IRQ from the parent bus inside the atkbd driver.
- Don't allocate a shared IRQ for the atkbd driver. For AT keyboard
devices on an ISA bus the IRQ is not shareable. Instead, the bus driver
should mark the IRQ shareable if the bus supports shared IRQs.
- Don't identify child devices until after the atkbdc device itself has
attached.
emulated by BIOS using SMI interrupt. On those chipsets reading
from the status port may be thousand times slower than usually.
Sometimes this emilation is not working properly resulting in
commands timing out and since we assume that inb() operation
takes very little time to complete we need to adjust number of
retries to keep waiting time within a designed limits (100ms).
Measure time it takes to make read_status() call and adjust
number of retries accordingly.
To keep it simple, use TSC to measure inb() performance and
keep it to amd64-only, since TSC may not available on older
CPUs.
Also enable detection of the AT controller absence on amd64.

files after they were repo-copied to sys/dev/atkbdc. The sources of
atkbdc(4) and its children were moved to the new location in preparation
for adding an EBus front-end to atkbdc(4) for use on sparc64; i.e. in
order to not further scatter them over the whole tree which would have
been the result of adding atkbdc_ebus.c in e.g. sys/sparc64/ebus. Another
reason for the repo-copies was that some of the sources were misfiled,
e.g. sys/isa/atkbd_isa.c wasn't ISA-specific at all but for hanging
atkbd(4) off of atkbdc(4) and was renamed to atkbd_atkbdc.c accordingly.
Most of sys/isa/psm.c, i.e. expect for its PSMC PNP part, also isn't
ISA-specific.
- Separate the parts of atkbdc_isa.c which aren't actually ISA-specific
but are shareable between different atkbdc(4) bus front-ends into
atkbdc_subr.c (repo-copied from atkbdc_isa.c). While here use
bus_generic_rl_alloc_resource() and bus_generic_rl_release_resource()
respectively in atkbdc_isa.c instead of rolling own versions.
- Add sparc64 MD bits to atkbdc(4) and atkbd(4) and an EBus front-end for
atkbdc(4). PS/2 controllers and input devices are used on a couple of
Sun OEM boards and occur on either the EBus or the ISA bus. Depending on
the board it's either the only on-board mean to connect a keyboard and
mouse or an alternative to either RS232 or USB devices.
- Wrap the PSMC PNP part of psm.c in #ifdef DEV_ISA so it can be compiled
without isa(4) (e.g. for EBus-only machines). This ISA-specific part
isn't separated into its own source file, yet, as it requires more work
than was feasible for 6.0 in order to do it in a clean way. Actually
philip@ is working on a rewrite of psm(4) so a more comprehensive
clean-up and separation of hardware dependent and independent parts is
expected to happen after 6.0.

This kind of bug is a _really_ horribly thing as we end up with one bit
of code thinking a particular structure is 136 bytes and another that it
is only 112 bytes.
Ideally all places would remember to #include the right "opt_foo.h" file,
but I think in practice file containing the variable sized struct should
#include it explicitly as a precaution.

- Add workaround for the problematic PnP BIOS which does not assign
irq resource for the PS/2 mouse device node; if there is no irq
assigned for the PS/2 mouse node, refer to device.hints for an
irq number. If we still don't find an irq number in the hints
database, use a hard-coded value.
- Delete unused ivars.
- Bit of clean up in probe/attach.
- Add PnP ID for the PS/2 mouse port on some IBM ThinkPad models.
