Commit a4a23f6 basically just changed a kzalloc and memcpy to the single
kmemdup call[0]:

-       input_device->hid_desc = kzalloc(desc->bLength, GFP_ATOMIC);
+       input_device->hid_desc = kmemdup(desc, desc->bLength, GFP_ATOMIC);

The Oops you see now still seems to be mm related:
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff813693c2>]  [<ffffffff813693c2>] memcpy+0x12/0x110

This may indicate a bug deeper in the memory management subsystem.  I'll
take a look at the commit log between  3.10 and 3.11-rc1 to see what
changes were made there.  It may require us to bisect further with
commit a4a23f6 reverted, and looking for when this new oops with memcpy
started.
