   USB Legacy support
   
   USB传统支持

  Also known as "USB Keyboard" or "USB Mouse support" in the BIOS Setup is a
  feature that allows one to use the USB mouse and keyboard as if they were
  their classic PS/2 counterparts.  This means one can use an USB keyboard to
  type in LILO for example.
  
  众所周知被称为“USB键盘”或“USB鼠标支持”在BIOS设置是允许一个使用USB鼠标和键盘，
  就好像它们是其经典的PS/2的串行的一个功能。这意味着可以使用USB键盘，例如键入LILO。
  
  It has several drawbacks, though:
  
  它有几个缺点，虽然
  
  1) On some machines, the emulated PS/2 mouse takes over even when no USB
     mouse is present and a real PS/2 mouse is present.  In that case the extra
     features (wheel, extra buttons, touchpad mode) of the real PS/2 mouse may
     not be available.
 
  1）在某些机器上，模拟的PS/2鼠标接管即使没有USB鼠标存在，而存在一个真正的PS/2鼠标。
     在这种情况下，额外的真正的PS/2鼠标（轮，额外的按键，触摸板模式）的功能无法使用。
  
  2) If CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is enabled, the PS/2 mouse emulation can cause
     system crashes, because the SMM BIOS is not expecting to be in PAE mode.
     The Intel E7505 is a typical machine where this happens.
 
  2）如果启用了CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G，PS/2鼠标仿真可引起SMM的BIOS系统崩溃，因为这是不被预期
     在PAE模式中。英特尔E7505是一个发生这种情况的典型的机器。
  
  3) If AMD64 64-bit mode is enabled, again system crashes often happen,
     because the SMM BIOS isn't expecting the CPU to be in 64-bit mode.  The
     BIOS manufacturers only test with Windows, and Windows doesn't do 64-bit
     yet.
 
  3）如果启用了AMD64的64位模式，系统崩溃还是经常发生，因为SMM的BIOS是不被64位模式下的CPU
     所兼容。该BIOS厂商还没有做Windows和Windows64位下的测试。
  
  Solutions:
  
  解决方案：
  
  Problem 1) can be solved by loading the USB drivers prior to loading the
  PS/2 mouse driver. Since the PS/2 mouse driver is in 2.6 compiled into
  the kernel unconditionally, this means the USB drivers need to be
  compiled-in, too.
  
  问题1）通过加载PS/ 2鼠标驱动程序在加载USB驱动程序之前，可以解决。由于2.6版
  本的PS/2鼠标驱动程序无条件的需要编译成内核，这意味着USB驱动程序也需要无条件
  的编译。
  
  Problem 2) can currently only be solved by either disabling HIGHMEM64G
  in the kernel config or USB Legacy support in the BIOS. A BIOS update
  could help, but so far no such update exists.
  
  问题2）目前只能要么禁用HIGHMEM64G在内核配置或USB支持旧式的BIOS来解决。
  更新BIOS可以帮助解决，但到目前为止，还没有这样的更新存在。
  
  Problem 3) is usually fixed by a BIOS update. Check the board
  manufacturers web site. If an update is not available, disable USB
  Legacy support in the BIOS. If this alone doesn't help, try also adding
  idle=poll on the kernel command line. The BIOS may be entering the SMM
  on the HLT instruction as well.
  问题3）通常是固定的更新BIOS。检查板制造商的网站。如果更新无法使用，禁用USB
  在BIOS中的传统支持。如果仅此并没有帮助，也尝试在内核命令行加入idle=poll。 
  BIOS可能会进入SMM的HLT指令。
