speakup-r functionality

Hi,

Here's one thing I think worth trying. I have updated the patch so that
the net difference between before and after the patch is that
speakup_fake_down_arrow() is not called when inside interrupt context.

Calling speakup_fake_down_arrow() inside interrupt causes the kernel
lock up because this itself generates same interrupt, leading to
infinite recursion.

I didn't think this code was triggered outside of interrupt context, but
it possibly is when using a serial console - which is the only
explanation I can think of for the behaviour you've described.

Thanks
