I think I roughly understand this requirement. So basically I'm supposed to go back the mainline kernel list where I used the top link in the previous email and starting with the original trusty kernel go midway up the list and test that kernel (as above) and keep using this search algorithm in addition to testing until the kernel where the bug got fixed is pinpointed. However when I downloaded the [v3.14-trusty/ 25-Feb-2015 09:38] kernel and installed it using [sudo dpkg -i *.deb] and then booted into it the keyboard worked fine. Maybe because I already edited the /etc/default/grub file on this same machine as described above.
