[PATCH] debug: add sysrq_always_enabled boot option

Most distributions enable sysrq support but set it to 0 by default.  Add a
sysrq_always_enabled boot option to always-enable sysrq keys.  Useful for
debugging - without having to modify the disribution's config files (which
might not be possible if the kernel is on a live CD, etc.).

Also, while at it, clean up the sysrq interfaces.
