But I'm surprised that moving the keyboard from one port to another could cause the system to hang, whether before or after the BIOS handoff fails. > Any ideas?

That also would be pretty drastic, though. What does the dmesg log in 4.10-rc6 say when the keyboard is plugged into its original port? No obvious explanations spring to mind. You may have to bisect.
