Ok, I've had the mainline kernel running for almost 15 hours so far:

bladernr@klaatu:~$ uptime
 11:40:27 up 14:44, 0 users, load average: 0.98, 0.89, 0.77
bladernr@klaatu:~$ uname -a
Linux klaatu 3.4.0-999-generic #201205100405 SMP Thu May 10 08:06:15 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And I have not experienced any of the previous keyboard wonkiness. This had started, usually within a couple hours of booting at the most and becomming progressively worse until I had to reboot to clear it up. So far, after nearly 15 hours, it's still stable.

The downside to this is that I need to run nVidia_current which doesn't build for the mainline kernel, so I get a nasty resolution on my system that makes it ... challenging ... to use. I'll keep running mainline through the weekend, however, to see if it remains stable.
