This is probably true, but is a separate issue. My point is that there are
systems that don't have a numlock boot option and that had the ability to set
the default are not longer having it honored.

Also, it's a pretty unreasonable expectation to require users that want a
different default to change their BIOSes. We should honor if it's set and
override it if it's set in software.
