Looks good. But would it not be helpfull to have a kernel-parameter for
overruling the BIOS-setting?

This patch enables reading the default NUMLOCK status from the BIOS data
area as defined for IBM PCs (1981). Using this area has been a reliable way
to detect (or set) the NUMLOCK status for about 27 years, and it will
continue to work on any IBM-compatible system that might run DOS.
