Subject: [PATCH] Increase the default keyboard repeat delay from 250ms to
 1000ms and repeat rate from 1000/33 Hz to 1000/500 Hz to avoid unintentional
 repeated keystrokes when using remote consoles such as HP iLO over
 high-latency links.  These consoles (HP iLO included) often transmit key
 states (up/down) instead of keystrokes, making it impossible to even enter a
 password and log in.

Fixing this in the kernel avoids problems with kbdrate where the parameters
passed to kbdrate don't apply to the new keyboards attached by HP iLO.
