MiNT 1.10 /dev/* time stamp patch

[Torsten Scherer <itschere@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>]

 Nice thing so far, but I would really recommend applying the following:

 Otherwise most of the /dev entires look a bit stupid, with 1980 as the year
of their creation and use and so...

 I seem to have somehow missed most parts of the repeated-keys-dont-generate-
interrupts story, so I'm a bit struck by surprise with MiNT 1.10's behaviour
with the console. Almost looks like a daemon is polling it. :-) Keys come in
chunks 4-5 times a second, not when they're actually pressed, but just 4-5
times a second. Looks extremely annoying when typing on the command line or
in an editor. :-( Anyone interested in me saying that I don't like this and
heavily prefer the original 1.09 behaviour?

cheers,
