A bit of a nitpick here, but /dev/repeat is an awfully generic filename.
Wouldn't something like /dev/kbdrate be a bit more obvious?

It is indeed. So is all of kbd, like /dev/leds and /dev/scancode. There is
also kbdfs that reads scancodes and provides several /dev/kbd* files. Not
sure what's best to do here.

Furthermore, as much as I don't really care about PS/2 keyboards, the
interface is really very un-plan9. I don't want to be dealing with
bitmasks specific to PS/2 controllers to set this kind of thing.
Instead /dev/kbdrate should accept two integers: the initial delay (in
ms), followed by the repeat delay (also in ms). That kind of
interface will also work for other keyboard controllers.

yes, i agree. note that scancode filename was choosen because of inferno's
cons(3) scancode file. we use the same format.

A bit mask is much easier to grok for turning LEDs on and off compared
to this. I mean, I have to mask in 5 bits and work out how they
map (backwards!) into a 30Hz to 2Hz range?! C'mon...
Also, why is the man page talking about initial *delays* of 250Hz to
1000Hz? Shouldn't that me milliseconds?

Yeah that's a typo, thanks for spotting.

I haven't looked at the commit, but this sounds like one of the worst evils of Linux: direct explosure of evil hardware nonsense without putting a simple interface on it. What I'm saying is, "lets fix this interface before people enshrine it in their scripts." I'll have a look at the numbers later, if my health permits.
