That sounds familiar - I'm pretty sure someone else(?) mentioned a 
problem like this a while ago. As far as I know the kernel doesn't need 
any userspace help to set up USB keyboards ( it would be pretty silly 
if it would... ) so I'd consider this a bug and therefore a candidate 
for send-pr. I guess there's already a PR about this but better have a 
look.

have fun
Michael
