Comment (by dilinger):

 I can't reproduce this on a b3 or b4 while suspending/resuming with
 smithbone's new firmware (q2cdb9.rom).  However, I *can* make the gamekey
 down happen repeatedly without suspending; that is, open up the ebook
 reader, hit the down gamekey, and watch it scroll without stop..  It's
 tough to reproduce, though.

 I suspect a race somewhere in the input stack; that is, either the EC
 spitting the gamekey out over the 8042, the i8042 driver processing it,
 the X input driver that's grabbing it from the kernel's input device, or
 the ebook reader.  Unfortunately, I haven't managed to reproduce it while
 simultaneously watching /proc/interrupts, so I don't know whether we're
 actually getting repeated 8042 interrupts.
