I just thought I'd note that I've had this issue ever since I started 
tracking current ~1 year ago. All the systems I've worked on had only 
usb for keyboard so I never had a chance to test with ps2.

Most of them have been dell poweredges and although I rarely boot 
outside of a xen dom0, I'm pretty sure the problem was there with a 
generic.mp and further back, a generic.mp.acpi.

I rarely ever shutdown a box and reboot has always worked so I kinda 
neglected to file a pr. With all the changes that have been made 
recently, the time frame may not even be relevent but I thought I'd 
mention it.
