Yes, I know that. phcoder in #coreboot on irc.freenode.net wrote that
even grub-pc (for BIOS) can circumvent some of these if the BIOS
interface is not detected. This is the case for the keyboard for
example.

I do not even know what the BIOS boot interface does and how it is
utilized. I guess I should read up about that.
