Shawn Nematbakhsh 7f54c8c133 libpayload: Remove unnecessary keyboard mode setting code
keyboard_init attempts to read the existing mode register, set the
'XLATE' bit, and write it back. The implementation is buggy because the
keyboard may be active at the time we read the mode, and we can
misinterpret scancode data as the reply to our command. It leads to
problems where the KB gets disabled in firmware.

In fact, setting the 'XLATE' bit is completely unnecessary, even if we
desire QEMU keyboard support. We already set this bit when we initialize
the keyboard in pc_keyboard_init. Basically, this code does nothing
(or worse), so just remove it.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:22134
TEST=Manual on Peppy. Spam keyboard going into recovery mode, verify the
keyboard still remains functional. Verify keyboard functions in dev
mode, recovery mode, and verified boot.
BRANCH=FalcoPeppy

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
