SysRq handling in the kernel

[Jeremy Foshee]

Hi Folks,
    I have been in several conversations about the way we are handling
SysRq these days. 

The following diff shows what is believed to be the culprit of the new
behavior.

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git;a=commitdiff;h=97f5f0cd8cd0a05449cbb77d1e6f02e026875802

Would you mind commenting on the change? I know we spoke briefly about
this, and the consensus was that we were handling things appropriately
for what we are being sent. I just want to make sure that I, and the
people inquiring, understand all of this.

Thanks!
