Subject: [PATCH] input/xen-kbdfront: Enable auto repeat for xen keyboard frontend driver

Long pressed key could not show right in XEN vncviewer after tigervnc
client changed the way how to send repeat keys, from "Down Up Down Up
..." to "Down Down ... Up". By enable EV_REP bit here, XEN keyboard
device will trigger default auto repeat process from input subsystem,
and make auto repeat keys work correctly.
