From: Jackie Huang <jackie.hu...@windriver.com>
The code relies on hardware specific memory locations to access
and modify the keyboard repeat rate. It also requires read/write
access to /dev/port which doesn't exist on every architecture's
root fs. The defect was raised for Qemu PowerPC but it also fails on
ARM. The keyboard emulation in qemuppc is for an ADB (Apple Desktop Bus)
device and not compatible with an Intel driver. There's also no
indication in the documentation that the code should work on
anything other than Intel architecture but it also works on MIPS.

+Subject: [PATCH] Limit kbdrate to x86, mips and sparc.
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
+
+The application will exit with an error if it runs on any other architecture.
+
+The code relies on hardware specific memory locations to access
+and modify the keyboard repeat rate. It also requires read/write
+access to /dev/port which doesn't exist on every architecture's
+root fs. The CQ was raised for Qemu PowerPC but it also fails on
+ARM. The keyboard emulation in qemuppc is for an ADB (Apple Desktop Bus)
+device and not compatible with an Intel driver. There's also no
+indication in the documentation that the code should work on
+anything other than Intel architecture but it also works on MIPS32.
+MIPS64 is not supported at this time so it was not tested.
