Did something break IRQ handling somewhere? I need to validate if this happens with X not running also if it is i915 related somehow. The behavor is noticed in a console login however.

This might not be caused by USB. There were a lot of changes to PCI and
ACPI for 3.9.

Probably best to each file a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org with:

Last known good kernel version

-- For both good and bad kernels (preferably as attachments) --
/proc/interrupts
lsusb
lspci
dmesg

and reply back with the bugzilla #.

It may be necessary to bisect this problem.

Regards,
Peter Hurley

PS - I know it can be difficult to get those things on the bad kernel.
It's easier if you boot to console.
