	Converts the scancode to character.
void	keyboard_init (void)
	Initalizes the RingBuffer to store the characters.
void	process_keyboard (InterruptFrame *frame)
	This is a function that is ran even when the sleep() function is called.
uint8_t	getmodifiers (void)
	Gets the current modifiers (like lshift, rshift, etc.).

	Gets the last pressed char.
int	getc_nonblock (void)
	Non-blocking getc from keyboard buffer.
void	keyboard_flush_buffer (void)
	Clears pending keyboard input so stale keypresses are discarded.
