On some ppc64 boxes the keyboard controller is present but not terminated.
Ive seen it on our SP2 node as well as other machines.

If you try and use it you will just end up with a hot interrupt. The
quick fix (I think from Milton) was to reserve the relevant IO range in
early ppc64 boot so the keyboard driver would fail later on.

Perhaps a similar quick fix would work here?
