I have no idea what you're rambling about, it's very incoherent.. I don't know anything about the FreeBSD forums or their policies, I was just trying to clear up some of the confusion you have.
The PS/2 mouse and keyboard was originally controlled by a chip called the 8042, these days it is emulated by the chipset.. sometimes it can be buggy or not entirely compatible.
It is not beyond the realm of possibility for problems to be introduced in the driver, indeed quirks exist for all sorts of hardware..
What I was trying to explain to you was that the phrase "GIANT LOCK" is a technical term for a temporary locking solution for data concurrency.. when SMP is being implemented it is often easier to work on the issue of fine-grained locking as a goal for the future.
Computers and operating systems are complex, at least in the BSD community, there is some expectation of the desire to learn about how both things work.. at least on a greater than elementary level.
Good luck.
