Hi,
Pavel pointed out earlier that sometimes when starting on i386-qemu GRUB
receives spurious events from AT keyboard. It seems that it is the role
of the firmware to flush this buffer at startup.
Unless someone has a better idea, I would fix this with:
- Moving at_keyboard to kernel on i386-qemu.
- [ifdef GRUB_MACHINE_QEMU]: flush the input buffer at at_keyboard
startup by reading and discarding events for a fixed amount of time.
I don't like that we have a race here. Suggestions welcome on how to
improve that, but TTBOMK if there's more than one event you can't tell
when you're processing the last one.

still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
