François,

thank you for your comment.

I guess you have never reported a kernel bug upstream. They will close your report faster than you can blink if you run a distro kernel and not verified that the problem also exists in vanilla. They are very quick to dismiss an issue as possibly being introduced by distro patches. So it is vital to test on vanilla because Ubuntu heavily relies on upstream to fix most of the kernel issues not related to packaging.

As far as USB is concerned, I believe (!) I also see this problem when there are no USB devices plugged in at all. I will need to test. As far as I can see from lsusb, my internal keyboard is not on the USB bus as it seems to be the case for Jason Straight. All devices listed by lsusb are either the internal USB controller or external devices.
