[PATCH] Enable A20 using KBC for some MSI laptops to fix S3 resume

From: Ondrej Zary
Date: Wed Oct 24 2012 - 02:48:26 EST


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. Affected laptop list and DMI data are from
bug reports at Ubuntu Launchpad.

Tested with EX600 and PR200.
