Does atkbd have modaliases? There seems to be aliases for stuff in drivers/input/serio/* and other keyboard drivers in drivers/input/keyboard/*, but I see no evidence that atkbd can be autoloaded.
I haven't actually tried it (as I don't have the controller), however,
it looks like it should work to me:
% modinfo atkbd
filename:
/lib/modules/3.8.0-rc1-TEG/kernel/drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.ko

'input' seems like too generic a name, since we aren't adding drivers for things like analog joysticks or mice, but at the same time, we're adding a bunch of usb HID stuff that might be used for just that. I'm okay with the the name 'input', as I don't have any better ideas.
We could call it 'keyboard' as whatever joystick/mouse/... drivers are not used anyway in the initramfs, and we don't include any of the non-hid, non-keyboard modules.

Maybe change the verbiage here to note that this hook is aimed at providing drivers for a keyboard (as we generally take anything else added as a side effect).
I'll rephrase and rename to 'keyboard', you can rename back to 'input' if you prefer. -t
