Please see my latest patch, I now no longer mess with keyboard.c, which is common for all kbd architectures - just with pc_keyb.c. I tried to put a printk, but it will be generated in some other places, other than real glitches, like: press shift, press A, allow it to repeat, then release the shift, now a will continue to repeat. The result is smth like:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
well, between the first A and the second the delay is enforced, but also between the first a and the second one... Which is not disturbing, IMHO, but is not a loggable event either... Forget about the printk for the time being and plese use my latest patch - it is really better, guards arrow keys and others, etc. That I really think that might find its way into the kernel main tree, but this one, in keyboard.c - would not...
