Well, I can't get to your dmesg's anymore.  If I understand correctly, USB 
works for you so long as you have APIC disabled, both with ACPI enabled and 
disabled correct?  And USB is broken if you have both ACPI and APIC enabled.  
Have you tried booting with ACPI disabled (hint.acpi.0.disabled=1) but with 
APIC enabled?  Does it work then or break?
