Default ddb and USB keyboard

I have some new Dell T310 servers and one becomes non-responsive under heavy network load. So I'm trying to go into ddb to do a problem report. However, my USB keyboard doesn't seem to work with ddb. I was able to use the Non-Masking Interrupt to get to the ddb prompt. But I couldn't type in commands. The servers do not have PS2 keyboard ports so USB keyboards are the only option.

I found a note that work on the issues was done at the f2k9 hackathon:
"Finally krw@ worked with miod@ on fixing USB keyboard usage on legacy-free machines such as the one our Blu-ray/HDDVD drive was in. These changes will enable use of USB keyboards in ddb(4). "

Does anyone know if this was implemented? Can you use a USB keyboard in ddb?
