Correction: 2.6.33.2 is affected as well. Problem is, I don't know a 
procedure, that reproduces the issue reliable, thus bisecting is not an 
option.

sysrq triggered process and lock state trace (when the keyboard was "lost") 
is available here: ftp://urpla.net/xrated-kbd-lockup

Dmitry, I've CC'ed you, since you seems the premier guy for input related 
issues. Do you have an idea? I guess, that my hardware setup isn't that 
uncommon, my keyboard is a "solid as a rock" Cherry G80, btw.
