Comment (by waddlesplash):

 It seems there sort-of is with UEFI, but not EFI, via the
 [http://xref.plausible.coop/source/xref/freebsd-
 current/sys/contrib/edk2/Include/Protocol/SimpleTextInEx.h SimpleTextInEx]
 protocol. However, I don't think that will help us determine the state of
 already-pressed keys, only detect key-presses that include Shift. So
 indeed, it appears EFI offers no way to do this.
