3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Ondrej Zary <li...@rainbow-software.org> commit ad68652412276f68ad4fe3e1ecf5ee6880876783 upstream. 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 in i8042_platform_init for x86.
