2008-06-27x86: setup: issue a null command after enabling A20 via KBCH. Peter Anvin1-1/+4
Apparently, DOS and possibly other legacy operating systems issued a null command to the keyboard controller after toggling A20, specifically "pulse output pins" with no output pins specified. This was presumably done for synchronization reasons. This has made it into at least the UHCI spec, and it has been found to cause compatibility problems when "legacy USB" is enabled (which it almost always is) to not have this byte sent. It is *NOT* clear if any of these compatibility problems has any effect on Linux. However, for maximum compatibility, issue this null command after togging A20 through the KBC. Signed-off-by: H.
