It's there: I just rewrote the way the initial NUMLOCK is set. The
default is numlock on, but you can set any default lock-values by
defining the KBD_DEFLOCK define to whatever you want. So if you want no
locks on by default, add a "-DKBD_DEFLOCK=0" to the main makefile line
that defines the keyboard. Look into linux/kernel/chr_drv/keyboard.c for
details.
