Log message:
        Fixes the arrow keys and all other keys that generate E0/E1 scancode
        prefixes on AT keyboards by adding support for E0/E1 scancode prefixes
        to the dummy keyboard driver if CONFIG_INPUT=y.
        
        Rationale: When using the new input layer (i.e. with a USB keyboard or
        a custom input device), the input layer relies on kbd_translate() in
        the low-level keyboard driver to convert from AT-style scancodes to
        keycodes. If you don't have a PS/2 keyboard interface and don't compile
        in the PS/2 keyboard driver, you have to enable the dummy keyboard
        driver, which naively assumes that keycodes and scancodes are
        interchangeable. This is correct if you do not have a keyboard, but
        fails for prefixed scancodes if you do have a keyboard which uses the
        new input layer.
