Thanks, Heiko tracked this down; he's probably sleeping now but Hugh and Walt
reported this fixes it for them and it makes sense.

Subject: commit a802dd0e breaks console keyboard input
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2008 16:16:22 +0200
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

The patch below moves the init call to its old place but makes the
stop_machine initialization happen later. I added a BUG_ON to catch possible
early calls, but there shouldn't be any. I think the patch should solve
the regression you are seeing. Could you give it a try please?
The patch applies on top of latest Linus' git tree.
