Oh, I forgot to add.

The format of the log messages in the screenshot is just 'print("c: %x
(%d) shift: %x (%d)", c, c, shift, shift)'. (I forgot to put a newline
and didn't want to recompile a kernel and reboot again so it's a
little messy, but I can add a newline so it's a little cleaner if this
is unusable. I don't know what patterns I'm looking for, so I don't
know if there's anything obvious in this mess of data..)
