Pressing somekey at early booting phase cause keyboard to be not usable
(The hardware is DELL latitude e5400):

atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (raw set 2, code 0xd3 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e053 <keycode>' to make it known.
atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (raw set 2, code 0x1d3 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e053 <keycode>' to make it known.

i8042.c set i8042_direct to true when the controller init. But the result
is keyboard not usable, The only option is press the power button to shutdown. 

So here remove the bios check to fix it.
