Not entirely dissimilar to what happens most of the time when you run
halt/reboot on an x260.

It's probably worth writing this up for bugs@ (at least include dmesg
and lsusb -v). Not sure if anyone will have an idea what to do, but there's
a higher chance of it being seen by someone with the right knowledge there
than here on misc@.

There isn't. Maybe you could at least sleep until the keyboard is
unplugged though?

while usbdevs | grep "somestring"; do sleep 1; done
