kbdrate is broken on powerpc:

[ ad nauseam ]
The 'set keyboard repeat rate' ioctl is not implemented on powerpc IIRC
(mainly because nobody figured out how to set the repeat rate on Apple ADB
keyboards, I bet). The fallback method doesn't seem to work either, and
should be terminated after x failed attempts. Might be a case on
'fortituously compiled on powerpc', file a bug, please.
