I just sent in a patch for SYSRQ which allows it to be used, even
on broken keyboards. My patch updates the sysrq.txt file
documentation to indicate exactly what you just stated above

My patch is attached, please try it out and let me know if you
have any trouble.

- gives you normal operation
echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
- allows broken keyboards to work that send make and
break simultaneously when the SYSRQ key is pressed down, and then
nothing when it is released.
