It's hardware. Each key normally sends the kernel a <MAKE> code when
pressed and a <BREAK> code when released. When the keyboard repeats,
it sends <MAKE> codes without intervening <BREAK>s. You *could* get
around it by rewriting the keyboard driver to do repeats in software,
but please be aware that it is not a trivial thing to do.
