APIC is used to route interrupts differently.  You can also disable it from 
the loader with 'hint.apic.0.disabled=1'.  I've looked at your dmesg's, and 
the problem is that in the ACPI case the IRQ 10 that your USB controllers are 
using is configured as an ISA IRQ (edge/high).  For now you can either 
disable APIC or ACPI as a workaround until I figure out a better solution.
