Attached patch for speed-up Haiku boot on 0.75 sec.
Main idea: don't wait to give the user the opportunity to press a key for
boot menu (current - "space" key) or debug output (current - ECS key),
instead to use keyboard state flags - CapsLock and Scroll Lock.[[BR]]
At boot time (after BIOS flushed leds on keyboard) press CapsLock for boot
menu or Scroll Lock for debug output.[[BR]]
GRUB and other first level loaders can reset keyboard led state, but not
BIOS keyboard flags, so we can use this keys too.
