Are you sure it's a PS/2 (aka. keyboard) mouse?

There's an option (PSM_NO_RESET), but i think this was only to prevent
certain keyboard lockups when a PS/2 mouse is connected.

You don't need all of the above.  Everything except FFS (where you are
booting from) can be loaded dynamically on demand.

Leave this!

This is most likely not required.  It doesn't save you memory however.

You don't have ISA busmaster devices, so you can drop this, too.

You gotta decide yourself whether you need the above.  Depends on your
applications.
