System hung again today but I was able to kill the X server (Xorg) with
signal 3 (QUIT) by ssh-ing in from another machine on the LAN, running
top(1) as root, and using the "k" command.

To recap the current status: running kernels 3.0.0 though the current
Ubuntu 12.10 kernel, 3.2.0-56-generic, an undetermined condition causes
the X server to cease responding to the keyboard and only respond to
mouse movement in a hesitant fashion. Xorg may be killed by sending it a
QUIT signal as root. The kernel magic keys may also be used to reboot
the system (R-E-I-S-U-B).

There are repeatable video artifacts that may be demonstrated using a
Thunderbird message composition window that may be related to this hang
issue.

Title:
  System Hangs With Kernel Migration Processes Consuming 100% CPU

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Once or twice a week, the system becomes non-responsive, with the
  mouse cursor tracking mouse movement but no keyboard response. Until
  today I would resort to using the kernel magic keys to reboot the
  system (R-E-I-S-U-B). Today I remotely logged in from another machine
  on the LAN and discovered that not only was the kernel alive and all
  processes running, but that the "migration/0" and "migration/1"
  processes were consuming 50% of the CPU each, as reported by top(1). I
  suspect this is why the system becomes non-responsive.
