Description
In the current trunk revision trying to trace a task (use +s so that you actually get some events) causes the keyboard to stop responding. The cursor still blinks and the heartbeat indicator moves so perhaps only the keyboard driver or part of the console server is locked up and the rest of the system is okay.

The problem was that cons_write() in the console server was waiting for data over IPC while holding the async serialization lock. Fixed in r4352.

When I add a hook directly to the keyboard driver to switch me to kcon upon pressing a key, it works. This means that the keyboard driver is OK, fb is probably OK too, only the console server seems to be stuck.
