Magic sysrq fails to work on many keyboards, particulary most of
notebook keyboards. This should help...
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.
