Ok, I did just that, prevent new calls to usbhid_submit_report(), after
calling hid_hw_close(), fixed one bug in my code that triggers the NULL
pointer dereference (calling hid_set_drvdata(hdev, NULL) too early).
Now I'm still seeing the bad paging request in _mmx_memcpy(), though rather
sporadically.
The last ones I saw were during remove() around the time of calling hid_hw_close()
and hid_hw_stop(). Adding a printk() between the two (at least while picoLCD
is hosting fbcon) makes it very improbably for the bad page to happen.
It looks like low-level driver did free memory in hid_hw_close() for some
in-flight URB and thus things break in following USB interrupt.

usbhid/hid-core.c:
static int hid_submit_out(struct hid_device *hid)
{
struct hid_report *report;
char *raw_report;
struct usbhid_device *usbhid = hid->driver_data;
int r;
report = usbhid->out[usbhid->outtail].report;
raw_report = usbhid->out[usbhid->outtail].raw_report;
usbhid->urbout->transfer_buffer_length = ((report->size - 1) >> 3) +
1 + (report->id > 0);
usbhid->urbout->dev = hid_to_usb_dev(hid);
if (raw_report) {
memcpy(usbhid->outbuf, raw_report,
usbhid->urbout->transfer_buffer_length);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^_ this is exploding
kfree(raw_report);
usbhid->out[usbhid->outtail].raw_report = NULL;
}
dbg_hid("submitting out urb\n");
r = usb_submit_urb(usbhid->urbout, GFP_ATOMIC);
if (r < 0) {
hid_err(hid, "usb_submit_urb(out) failed: %d\n", r);
return r;
}
usbhid->last_out = jiffies;
return 0;
}
