I use a Belkin Omni > 4-way PS/2 KVM switch. It has a "hot key" to switch boxes (scroll-lock > twice, then number 1-4).

I have a 4 port Vista KVM from Rose Electronics, where hot key is a single left control. That doesn't interfere as much.

If so, does the problem go away if you use those? Otherwise, perhaps hack drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.c (dunno if that is the correct path) to log when a scroll-lock is received) and then throw away that keypress?
