Amiga keyboards do not have a SysRq key.  We used to implement it
using SHIFT+ALTGR+HELP in the old drivers/char/amikeyb.c, but that
feature was lost with the transition to drivers/input/keyboard/amikbd.c.

For enabling it, you can s/KEY_HELP/KEY_SYRQ/ in
drivers/input/keyboard/amikbd.c.

drivers/tty/amiserial.c does support break, so that should work, too.
