[PATCH 3/3] input: Default to only using PNP for i8042 probing on x86

[Matthew Garrett]

Experimenting with Windows has revealed that it will not probe the
keyboard controller unless a valid PNPACPI device is present. Change our
behaviour to match, and add a new i8042.forcedprobe parameter to allow
people to override it.
