13d9569041 By default, only enable USB keyboard detection when booted in UEFI mode.
Most legacy BIOSs will support USB legacy keyboard emulation. Using that
will avoid having to reserve memory for the USB drivers, and should
improve the chance of having a working keyboard without having to work
around various USB device quirks.

USB improvements (#116)
* Add new heap manager.

* Convert OHCI driver to use new heap manager.

* Convert UHCI driver to use new heap manager.

* Convert EHCI driver to use new heap manager.

* Convert XHCI driver to use new heap manager.

* Convert SMP to use new heap manager.

* Add a "usbinit" boot option to handle various buggy USB devices.

This replaces the "keyboard=buggy-usb" option, and adds a second
workaround to handle the problem seen in issue #107.

af54067228 Execute smp_init() before keyboard_init() in case ACPI tables are overwritten.
When USB keyboard detection is enabled, physical memory pages are reserved
for use by the USB drivers. The physical memory map exposed by pmem.h does
not indicate where the ACPI tables reside, so we may end up using pages
that contain ACPI tables (or for that matter, the boot parameters and boot
command line). So rather than introduce a more complicated memory allocation
scheme, make sure we have finished with all the data passed to us by the
BIOS and/or boot loader before we start probing for USB devices.

The only downside to this is that it is no longer possible to interactively
disable parsing of the ACPI tables - that can now only be done by using the
"nosmp" boot option.

7b41830c40 Change "smp" boot option to "nosmp".
SMP is now enabled by default, so we need an option to disable it.
