Subject: [PATCH 09/14] at_keyboard coreboot: force scancodes2+translate

Scan code set 2 with translation should be assumed in
every case, as the default starting position.

However, GRUB is trying to detect and use other modes
such as set 2 without translation, or set 1 without
translation from set 2; it also detects no-mode and
assumes mode 1, on really old keyboards.

The current behaviour has been retained, for everything
except GRUB_MACHINE_COREBOOT; for the latter, scan code
set 2 with translation is hardcoded, and forced in code.

This is required to make keyboard initialisation work on
the MEC5035 EC used by the Dell Latitude E6400, when
running GRUB as a coreboot payload on that laptop. The
EC reports scancode set 2 with translation when probed,
but actually only outputs scancode set 1.

Since GRUB is attempting to use it without translation,
and since the machine reports set 2 with translation,
but only ever outputs set 1 scancodes, this results in
wrong keypresses for every key.

This fix fixed that, by forcing set 2 with translation,
treating it as set 1, but only on coreboot. This is the
same behaviour used in GNU+Linux systems and SeaBIOS.
With this change, GRUB keyboard initialisation now works
just fine on those machines.

This has *also* been tested on other coreboot machines
running GRUB; several HP EliteBooks, ThinkPads and
Dell Precision T1650. All seems to work just fine.
