this patch adds an entry in Kconfig after 'config MAGIC_SYSRQ' which asks for a different keycode (replacing also KEY_SYSRQ with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_KEYCODE in char/keyboard.c) it was tested on some USB keyboards (Microsoft and Apple USB keyboards, and it works) I sumbitted this patch two years ago, but it was ignored. I think this patch is very important, even to a non-developer (SysRq-k is very helpful when testing unstable software/drivers) -- federico ferri
