[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1 v2] kbd: Limit the kbdrate application to x86, mips and sparc

[jackie.huang at windriver.com]

From: Jackie Huang <jackie.huang at 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.
