Kernel: Make i8042 controller initialization sequence more robust
The setting of scan code set sequence is removed, as it's buggy and could lead the controller to fail immediately when doing self-test afterwards. We will restore it when we understand how to do so safely. Allow the user to determine a preferred detection path with a new kernel command line argument. The defualt option is to check i8042 presence with an ACPI check and if necessary - an "aggressive" test to determine i8042 existence in the system. Also, keep the i8042 controller pointer on the stack, so don't assign m_i8042_controller member pointer if it does not exist.
