I also see an annoying side effect of this bug. When the panic
happens, the caps lock LED starts to blink, and the kernel prints this
on the console once every second (or more often, don't know exactly):

       printk(KERN_WARNING "atkbd.c: Spurious %s on %s. "
              "Some program might be trying access hardware directly.\n",
              data == ATKBD_RET_ACK ? "ACK" : "NAK", serio->phys);

This makes the actual crash information disappear before you have a
chance to read it.


I believe I have a fix for this in my tree. I even asked Linus to pull
from it but it is a good thing he did not as I need to revert one
patch to lifebook driver...

Linus, did you not pull because you considered changes to ads7848 and
a new driver gpio-keys unappropriate for this stage or you just missed
my request?
