Based on discussions in Kishy's Terminal Keyboard conversion (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:7306) article, here are some instructions on dealing with the DDK (should you wish to modify and build your own i8042prt driver.)
Patches and Drivers:
Files (32-bit, x86):
x86 i8042prt.sys and diffs (http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=11287&d=1276934243)
Files (64bit, x64/AMD64):
x64 i8042prt.sys (http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=13117&d=1287805020)
x64 diffs (http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=13118&d=1287807440)

You may need to do is have a Windows Live ID(no charge) and be willing to add the Microsoft Connect service(no charge) to it. Once you have that, you should be able to grab the SDK you need, which is named "1830_usa_ddk.iso".

Should you wish to build your own:
While I have to say that this is at your own risk, it isn't too hard if you are careful in your work.
First of all: backup your i8042prt.sys in C:\windows\system32\drivers.
Second of all, have a USB keyboard handy should things go wrong.
Notes for x64 users:
Additional patches are available. Sleep/Wake keyboard button support has been removed so that it can build. It is not necessary for 32-bit only users.
Install/Build/Result:
Following the download, mount the iso image. Further instructions on doing so are out of the scope of this document.
Install:
Select Custom install, go to samples -> input -> items relating to 8042 input sample and add those. If you want to add the USB one, go right ahead - but the relevant sample is the 8042 one.
Install to the default directory it gives you: (e.g. C:\WINDDK\3790.1830)
Modification:
The files you need will be here if you installed with the default path.
C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\src\input\pnpi8042
Build:
Open a command prompt, go to C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\bin\
Use Build x86 for 32-bit.
Use Build AMD64/x64 for 64-bit.
Build x86:
setenv.bat C:\WINDDK\3790.1830 fre hal
Build AMD64/x64:
setenv.bat C:\WINDDK\3790.1830 fre AMD64
From there, change directory to ..\src\input\pnpi8042
run build.exe with no options (or if you wish, add options)
Result:
If build went through w/o error, it will be at:
C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\src\input\pnpi8042\daytona\objfre_wnet_x86\i8042prt.sys
(ignore any spaces inserted, that's the forum software)
Some helpful hints:
Should you be working from .diff's, this may be helpful. This is not a complete guide to the format of the file, but it is enough to get the reader going.
Patching
I recommend hand-patching the files based on the diffs. Here's a quick way to determine how to do this if you wish to go this route.
If you're uncomfortable with that, a proper patching tool should not be hard to find.
At the start of a new source code file. (For the purpose of my patches, these are separated out into individual files)

I consistently get this: "The content that you requested cannot be found or you do not have permission to view it.
If you believe you have reached this page in error, click the Help link at the top of the page to report the issue and include this ID in your e-mail: dcf1379c-c4ca-431a-982e-0be8e6568097 "
I have a Live account and am registered with Connect, so perhaps it is restricted by your location?

FWIW, after signing up for a Live account and then Connect, I was able to obtain the DDK a few weeks ago.

I'll make another account from scratch and do it all over. Maybe there were issues relating to how I used my pre-existing Live account, who knows.
And this time I'll enter more convincing fake info during registration.
Edit: alright, got it to go. Note I had to work my way through the site to get to it. The URL provided in the article is correct but even when registered properly and logged in, it does not work...you need to get to that page from within the Connect site (apparently they check referrers).

Some diffs for the Windows 2003 DDK.Attachment here (http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=11287&stc=1&d=1276934241).

Found a direct no hassle download from M$ themselves... :)

Thanks go to acfrazier for being able to test a working x64 setup. The wiki item has been changed to reflect the new x64 related changes.
Notes:
Use this patch set after the others.
No need to use if x86(32-bit).
Changes:
Removes the Sleep/Wake keyboard "system buttons" from the keyboard driver. Should not affect non-keyboard input.
