OK, so it sounds like quirk_usb_disable_ehci() caused your machine to hang
with the old BIOS.  That's fairly bad behaviour from the kernel, even

Can you please gather some more details on this and prepare a new report? 
The full demsg output, machine description, etc.  It might be best to do
this via a new bugzilla.kernel.org record so we know where to find it.

Thanks.
