There are existing machines which don't have SysRq key, e.g. chromebooks.
This patch allows configuring which key acts as SysRq. The value is passed
with sysrq's module parameter.

No documentation of this new module parameter?

Unfortunately this means that if I connect my external keyboard to
chromebook SysRq there will stop working, which is not great. If we want
to support this we need to figure out how to make this handling
per-device.

FWIW Chrome OS cheats and simply adds more keys to be handled as SysRq
without removing "classic" SysRq. But that hack is obviously not
suitable for the mainline.

Thanks.

I see your point.

So what you envision is SysRq key being configured for each input device
separately. I can see these problems:

- How to attach such a configuration information to each specific
device instance? It is easy if done framework-wise, but gets messy
if done per-device. And we are talking per-device rather than per-driver.

- If a user has multiple USB keyboards connected (possibly through a cascade
of hubs), how would they know which key is valid for which keyboard?

Wouldn't it be better if such a piece of configuration were valid for the
whole system instead of per-device?
