Do you know how long it takes for your keyboard to become responsive? (You can pass "-n" to tools/readserial.py to have it report wall times instead of adjusted times.)
It takes something about 0.8s, according to serial output.
Maybe we can add some "shoot and run" ps2 initialization code to coreboot that runs before most other code, giving the keyboard or kbc time to initialize while we do all the other stuff.
Have we considered threading in coreboot? It seems the time we spend in ramstage is unsignificant and the effort of multitasking in romstage is not worth the trouble.
