//   - The `psm' driver is made to recognize various models of PS/2 mice
//   and enable their extra features so that their additional buttons and
//   wheel/roller are recognized. The name of the detected model will be
//   printed at boot time.

How much memory does this model info waste ?

I don't like the ideia of using kernel memory (which cannot yet be
swapped out) for something almost useless.

This (and also the VGA type info) could be in some memory area that
could later be released for VM usage.  Something like pre-alocated
VM pages, disposable after booting.
