We're pretty far with the UHCI stack in GRUB2. If you are looking for a 
USB project to jump on, we can certainly use help ;-)

Initial keyboard support is there. MSC support is there, UHCI is there.

Missing: Fixes, Testing, OHCI, EHCI, Fixes, Fixes, Testing...

Maybe we can pack it into libpayload instead of GRUB2 too, so we can 
make it available to more payloads?
