Description

From UEFI specification 2.8, page 434:

    "It should also be noted that certain input devices may not be able to produce
    shift or toggle state information, and in those cases the high order bit in
    the respective Toggle and Shift state fields should not be active."

But we still need to check for ScanCode and UnicodeChar.
