Great, setting these kernel parameters seems to have fixed the problem.  The 
broken keyboard happened often enough for me that I'd have seen it by now, but 
we'll know for sure after some days pass.

I found these bug entries on the topic:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/341094
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/334249

Does anyone know if there is an upstream fix (real or planned) for this?  By 
reading the above urls, it looks like there has been an attempt but the task 
remains unresolved.
