Would it be possible to add a new kernel config option?
Something like NO_KBD_LEDS
then the following hack or similar, could be used by those of us with
crappy hardware that dies in the LED update code...
I never look at the leds and certainly don't miss them, but I
sometimes forget to install this patch in a new kernel...
