  Hi,

We only need to migrate the state when it is different of the default
one (0).

Er, isn't it going to be different from the default in like 99% of
circumstances?

Why? caps lock and scroll lock are off usually. numlock depends on what the user prefers. In case he cares in the first place of course. I expect most users don't and just go with the default.

On my physical machines numlock is off by default. Likewise in my virtual machines: SeaBIOS keeps it off by default, and Linux+Windows guests don't muck with it at boot.

I remember physical machines used to have numlock on by default in the 90ies. They even had a BIOS Setup option to pick the initial numlock state. That seems to be out-fashioned these days though, I havn't seen that for quite a while now ...

cheers,
  Gerd
