Hm, ok, Marcin asked that I include this patch as it fixed his keyboard
problems with X on 2.6.31.

Marcin, any ideas?

I'll go drop this from the .31-stable queue.

Get current -git, I think it shoul be fixed there properly.

Marking the pty's "low_latency" works around the problem, but will break
at least ppp.

Greg, I see you queued c8e33141911bf8fe87dc6c92793b9a59b2be0130
(tty: Make flush_to_ldisc() locking more robust) for stable, so I guess
you figured out it was not my problems with keyboard (*), but Boyan's
and Fr?d?ric's.
