And I will take care of the core USB part.

The other part of the problem is that the keyboard crashes during
enumeration when the computer asks for its configuration string
descriptor.  Several other devices have the same problem, and there's
already a workaround for it in the kernel.  The patch simply adds a
blacklist entry for the keyboard, telling the kernel not to ask for
that descriptor.
