I submitted them for 2.1.84 or 2.1.85 as a config option. Nothing happened.
No box I tried objected to being given an extra keyboard reset - but I have
few laptop boxes I can test and such things normally cause problems on
weird laptops rather than generic boxen.

You just move INIT_KBD to CONFIG_INIT_KBD. As a side note lose95 appears to
always init the keyboard controller.
