Some days ago I posted patch to introduce KDKBDREP ioctl to i386 keyboard routines. KDKBDREP is defined in linux/kd.h but now he is used only on m68k. In sparc architectures is used KIOCSRATE, on i386 -- user-space utility kbdrate and I know nothing about others. It seems to be better to use one ioctl on all of archs because: - it unifies keyboard rate setting; - it will be done in kernel context avoiding cases of simultaneous access same I/O ports by different programs. (see A.Cox msg). In previous patch I had tried to change i386 kbd files in order to inmplement KDKBDREP. Now I changed sparc files in such a fashion. But I haven't sparc box and cannot test my changes so I'll be very glad if someone test my patch. Thanks advance.
