There is no such tool. You can write one to find out all the device and
class filters loaded in the system. But before I tell you how do to get that
info I would like to know why you need it.

DeviceTree from OSR can do this (doesn't come with source though).

An IRP is basically a parameter list used when one driver (or the OS) calls
another driver. Typical IRPs are for open (create), close, read, write, power
events ... Or you might think of an IRP as a work element or a request for work to
be done. The called routine will effect the IRP immediately (possibly indicating
an error) or will do it someday.

if your keyboard is a ps2 device, then there is most definitely a filter
driver involved in getting all of the extra features working. to install a
device driver like this, they usually went through an INF install. look in
device manager and under the properties for the keyboard, click on the
driver tab and then the Driver Details button. the 2 expected drivers are
i8042prt.sys and kbdclass.sys. anything else is a filter.
