OSBYTE &16 (22) - Increment Polling Semaphore
This call increments a counter, which if non zero will cause 100 service
calls (type &15) per second to be sent the paged ROMs. This allows a way
for ROMs to poll hardware which doesn't offer interrupts.
On exit:
X=preserved - Polling semaphore exists
X=&FF - Polling semaphore not implemented
