Subject: [PATCH 05/12] hdaps: Remember keyboard and mouse activity

When the current hdaps driver is queried for recent keyboard/mouse activity
(which is provided by the hardware for use in disk parking daemons), it
simply returns the last readout. However, every hardware query resets the
activity flag in the hardware, and this is triggered by (almost) any
hdaps sysfs attribute read, so the flag could be reset before it is 
observed and is thus nearly useless.

This patch makes the activities flags persist for 0.1sec, by remembering
when was the last time we saw them set. This gives apps like the hdaps
daemon enough time to poll the flag.
