A sparc64 fix I put into 2.6.29.1 is likely the cause. It's possible
I put in a version without a particular issue cured.
I'm going to work on figuring out what the problem is, but for now you
can just revert the patch below. Your problem had absolutely nothing
to do with turning KEYBOARD_ATKBD on, any kernel configuration would
hit this when running the X server.

sparc64: Flush TLB before releasing pages.
[ Upstream commit a552a42cfa91ab653128dff89a70c8dde7fed042 ]
tlb_flush_mmu() needs to flush pending TLB entries before
processing the mmu_gather ->pages list.
Noticed by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.
