[PATCH] fix magic sysrq on strange keyboards
Magic sysrq fails to work on many keyboards, particulary most of notebook keyboards. This patch fixes it. The idea is quite simple: Discard the SysRq break code if Alt is still being held down. This way the broken keyboard can send the break code (or the user with a normal keyboard can release the SysRq key) and the kernel waits until the next key is pressed or the Alt key is released.
