No, if you have legacy USB support turned off, you get the results you
should get: no support. GRUB isn't really "no man's land" so much as it
is precisely what the legacy support exists for: Something running in a
mode that has no USB stack and wants to access a plain AT keyboard through
BIOS calls.
