Bug#248855: Useful clues for non-working USB keyboard on SunBlade 150 / sparc64

I checked a completely different machine with a USB keyboard, and
got this from /proc/bus/devices/usb. (Dell precision 380 desktop,
i386 arch.)

Based on the last "I:" line, the theory is holding up thus far.
The only things I can see to worry about:
- are there cases where Sub!=01. (Boot Interface Subclass)?
- are there keyboards where Prot!=01 (keyboard Interface Protocol)?
I'm no usb expert either.

I was wondering if discover plays a role here. I noticed a couple
of "unknown" items in pci.list that match pci ids in my SB100.
The USB controller entry seems correct however
        108e1103        usb     usb-ohci        RIO USB

Cheers
