The bug originates from an upstream bug, and the ubuntu users request
me to do a SRU to make the ubuntu linux work on their Asus laptops, so
once the pathces are merge to mainline kernel, I start to prepare this
SRU.

[Impact]
Some Asus laptops config the IRQ of keyboard in the BIOS, but kernel
will override to a new configuration for that IRQ, this will make the
keyboard not work anymore under linux.

[Fix]
Backport 2 patches from mainlie kernel to fix this problem.

[Test]
boot the patched kernel on the machine, test the keyboard, all
regular keys could work.


[Where problems could occur]
The patches use the dmi table to match the machines, so only the
matched Asus laptops will be impacted by the patches, if there is
any regression, the regression only affects those matched Asus
laptops, and the regression possibility is very low since ubuntu
users already tested the patches on their own Asus laptops.
