89a8920764 Kernel: Untie PS2 mouse and keyboard devices from i8042 implementation
To ensure actual PS2 code is not tied to the i8042 code, we make them
separated in the following ways:
- PS2KeyboardDevice and PS2MouseDevice classes are no longer inheriting
  from the IRQHandler class. Instead we have specific IRQHandler derived
  class for the i8042 controller implementation, which is used to ensure
  that we don't end up mixing PS2 code with low-level interrupt handling
  functionality. In the future this means that we could add a driver for
  other PS2 controllers that might have only one interrupt handler but
  multiple PS2 devices are attached, therefore, making it easier to put
  the right propagation flow from the controller driver all the way to
  the HID core code.
- A simple abstraction layer is added between the PS2 command set which
  devices could use and the actual implementation low-level commands.
  This means that the code in PS2MouseDevice and PS2KeyboardDevice
  classes is no longer tied to i8042 implementation-specific commands,
  so now these objects could send PS2 commands to their PS2 controller
  and get a PS2Response which abstracts the given response too.

d276cac82c Kernel: Re-organize the abstractions around i8042, PS2 and HID concepts
The HIDController class is removed and instead adding SerialIOController
class. The HIDController class was a mistake - there's no such thing in
real hardware as host controller only for human interface devices
(VirtIO PCI input controller being the exception here, but it could be
technically treated as serial IO controller too).

Instead, we simply add a new abstraction layer - the SerialIO "bus",
which will hold all the code that is related to serial communications
with other devices. A PS2 controller is simply a serial IO controller,
and the Intel 8042 Controller is simply a specific implementation of a
PS2 controller.
