lockup during probing because of a memory stick

If a USB mass storage device was connected when the computer was turned on or reset and the device is left connected, then the system locks up somewhere around the ``acpi0: on motherboard'' line (not exactly deterministically at that line). Otherwise (if the device is connected or disconnected jus
