If alt+prscr is really rendering a sysrq event, it would appear that
sysrq is not a bindable event. I can't get it to show up in anything
(including xev).

While I can see the technical argument for making alt trigger the
alternate key, the solution in the latest kernel is at least 10 years
too late. There is too much documentation and too much "known behaviour"
to try (or want) to reverse things now without upsetting everybody who
expects a windowshot from an alt+prscr combo.

It's also well known that if you want sysrq, you use control+alt+prscr.
I assume this key-combo is also broken now (or it renders as
control+sysrq).

Everything about this stinks to me and I think we should fight upstream
all the way on this, disabling the new kernel configuration by default.
