No support for keyboard in installer on Macs

Description
I tired it on a few Mac and on each Mac the installer couldn't support the keyboard. Perhaps this is a more generic problem of not supporting USB keyboard (Macs use USB keyboard)? Or perhaps our initrd for installer doesn't have all the required USB/HID modules? Or perhaps Xen is making problems?

Still, it doesn't work on any Mac I tried... We're missing some module or magic kernel config... Sigh.

Ok, this is definitely a problem with the installer's kernel, and not with general Xen-not-supporting-apple thing. I have verified that if I install Qubes Beta 2 on a HDD using a normal PC, and then swap this HDD into my Mac Pro, then I can boot this Qubes Beta 2 and use it without any problem. Yet, if I try to run the Qubes installer on this very same Mac I cannot get kbd.mouse working.
So, which module are we missing?

Please, send lsmod+dmesg from installed system. And if you can - lsmod+dmesg from installer (using external keyboard?).
