OK, let me rephrase that then:

1. I'd like to have the maps in some kind of human-readable text format
as the source material.

2. I don't have time to maintain this... if someone is willing to do a
git tree that I can pull I'm willing to include it.

I'm curious about what model Michael Brown has for iPXE.  It might be
close enough that we could even use that format.  The other option is
maybe I should consider implementing a whole-hog "capture IRQ 1"
keyboard driver mechanism; it might be useful to more people than are lost.
