      Input: i8042 - break load dependency between atkbd/psmouse and i8042 · 40974618
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      As explained in 1407814240-4275-1-git-send-email-decui@microsoft.com we
      have a hard load dependency between i8042 and atkbd which prevents
      keyboard from working on Gen2 Hyper-V VMs.

      To break the dependency we move away from using i8042_check_port_owner()
      and instead allow serio port owner specify a mutex that clients should use
      to serialize PS/2 command stream.
