And to clarify the confusion about the modprobe story, and the keyboard.

I know normally after disk drivers have been loaded by initramfs you can
load modules for hid input.

But is this case you cannot because off FULL-disk encryption, and the
disk is decrypted after you enter the password (using said keyboard). So
the keyboard driver needs to be present in initramfs.
