      x86 setup: a20: early timeout for a nonexistent keyboard controller · 3bd323a1
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      When probing the keyboard controller to enable A20, if we get FF back
      (which is *possible* as a valid status word, but is extremely
      unlikely) then bail after much fewer iterations than we otherwise
      would, and abort the attempt to access the KBC.
      
      This hopefully should make it work a lot better for embedded platforms
      which don't have a KBC and where the BIOS doesn't implement
      INT 15h AX=2401h (and doesn't boot with A20 already enabled.)
      
      If this works, it will be the one remaining use of CONFIG_X86_ELAN as
      anything other than a processor type optimization option.
