[Qemu-devel] Pipe key broken on US keyboards

[Phillip Susi]

Hello, I recently upgraded my Xen server from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 and
am no longer able to type a | over vnc to the xen vms.  When I press \
it works, but when I hold down shift and press \ which should generate a
|, the vm sees the scan code for some key that the keymap thinks should
sit between left shift and Z, but does not exist on US keyboards, and
that scan code produces a > when combined with shift.  I'm betting it
was this commit that broke it:

    hw: convert ps2 device to keycodemapdb

    Replace the qcode_to_keycode_set1, qcode_to_keycode_set2,
    and qcode_to_keycode_set3 tables with automatically
    generated tables.

Any ideas?

According to xev in the vm, they scan code for \ is 51, and when I hold
down shift, it changes to scan code 94.
