Standard 8042 keyboard controller only has 256 bytes of RAM, trust me they
don't burn 101 bits for key debounce, much less 101 bytes.

What they do is low-pass filter by polling SLOWER than the worst-case
bounce period, and debounce becomes a non-issue: if it reads pressed, it
IS pressed, end of story.

Not that anyone uses 8042's anymore. Keyboards I've used bounce for about
18 mS -- 25 ms poll works fine.
