PATCH v4 1/1 8042: Enable A20 using KBC to fix S3 resume on some MSI laptops

Some MSI laptop BIOSes are broken - INT 15h code uses port 92h to enable A20 line but resume code assumes that KBC was used.
The laptop will not resume from S3 otherwise but powers off after a while and then powers on again stuck with a blank screen.

Fix it by enabling A20 using KBC in i8042_platform_init for x86.

Sure. I hope it won't affect other boxes, otherwise more DMI tables will be needed.

Thanks.
