I have had reports on similar lockup in both 4.0-CURRENT and 3.X. I personally have not been able to reproduce it, but now my new sand box machine exhibits this problem occasionally. The I/O access to the AT keyboard by the atkbd driver have not changed much for the last couple of years, despite massive source tree reorganization. And yes, problem reports started to pop-up since sometime around the last summer. I have not been able to track down the cause of the problem, but am suspecting possibility of the clock/timer problem.
