Ok, what about this one?

I don't have time to test it (it compiles, at least), but it seems the
logic is pretty clear: once you have pressed both "Alt" and "SysRq"
sysrq mode becomes active until you release *both* keys. In this mode
any regular key press triggers handle_sysrq.

This allows for all the combinations mentioned before in this thread and
makes the logic simpler, IMHO.

Subject: allow the old behavior of Alt+SysRq+<key>

This should allow any order of Alt + SysRq press followed by any key
while still holding one of SysRq or Alt.
