Limit the keyboard data rate to the serial link speed. Some old DOS software relies on being able to read an incoming scan-code more than once. After reading keyboard data from the i8042 controller, the guest software has 1ms to read the same data again.
Use -global i8042.kbd-throttle=on to enable this feature. To see how this patch works, start a FreeDOS 1.2 guest with the qemu option -global i8042.kbd-throttle=on and open a text file with the vim 7.3 32 bit for DOS executable. Then use the cursor keys (not the cursor keys on the numeric keypad) to move through the text. Without the kbd-throttle option enabled each keystroke will move the cursor two positions.
