And it's ok while reading port 0x60 should return last key.
What I can say is that I found 1st REAL bug. 
Value recived from port 0x60 in interrupt function should 
always be the same. 
While I'm not sure if this is clear, here is sample code 
for testing:

-- BEGIN test.pas --
program time; {$M 2048,0,0}
uses crt, dos;
var oldkbd : procedure;
 
procedure kbd; interrupt;
begin
     Write(' 1. '); Write(Port[$60]);
     Write(' 2. '); Write(Port[$60]);
     Write(' 3. '); Writeln(Port[$60]);
     inline($9c); oldkbd;       
end;
 
begin
        getintvec($9, addr(oldkbd));
        setintvec($9, @kbd);
        keep(0);
end.
-- END test.pas --

kbd function works fine on qemu for keys which fill ps2_queue 
to q->count == 1 (like letters). It works in this case becouse 
after reading first value from queue q->count is equal 0 and
then last key is returned. 

For keys which are suppressed by 0xe0 for example this code fails.
ps2_read_data is used to recive Port[$60] value and every use of 
this function decrease q->count (and moves pointer to next value)
which is wrong in this case while this action should take place
after exiting my "kbd" function.

Any idea how to fix it? (I'm not familiar with qemu src code and
I don't know where to put the code which should move ps2_queue 
pointer to next value.)
