Upstream acknowledges this bug in http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnEFI and
says:
"[..] I guess I should write my own keyboard driver for EFI and replace the
standard buggy driver."
There's a SoC contributor in the process of writing an AT keyboard driver
as part of the LinuxBIOS/grub2 integration project.
Is it possible that this code can be reused for EFI? Or does EFI block access
to keyboard controller completely?
