OK, so we have the following scenario:

- we do not need to worry about SND and LED on OLPC;

- we do not need to worry about releasing the key that was pressed

 actually release any keys unless a key was held pressed and we forced
 system to sleep somehow.

- we need to make sure we do not loose key press (and following events)
 when we are waking up.

Yes, that seems accurate, with one more addition:

- we need to make sure we do not loose mouse button press or mouse
movement (and following events) when we are waking up.

Can atkbd driver stash away serio byte data (when not in command mode)
and replay it when pm notifier signals us that resume process is done?

I'm having trouble understanding this suggestion or relating it to the
problems in question and the previous patches posted. Are you
suggesting stashing of data that is sent from the host  to the
keyboard, or from the keyboard to the host? How does this solve our
issues? What about the mouse?

How is it going to avoid the input-level issues?

Thanks,
Daniel
