I'm not sure that's the right answer - the input device isn't necessarily a keyboard, is it?
The way openboot creates this alias is during device creation. When a keyboard is created, FCode creates a boolean property "keyboard" in its device node. Openboot's framework, when device creation is done (I think it's in finish-device), looks for this property and creates a keyboard devalias when it exists. That might be heavier weight than needed for openbios (you don't need to support multiple keyboard drivers, like adb and usb, independently), but I'm a bit apprehensive about just assuming input-device is a keyboard.
