Subject: BIOS bug ? "Unlink after no-IRQ?" rebooting from Windows

I bought a Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2 more than a year ago. Since 
then, rebooting from Windows directly to Linux makes my USB 
mouse unusable. It just turns out and dmesg displays

"ohci_hcd 0000:00:13.0: Unlink after no-IRQ?  Controller is 
probably using the wrong IRQ."

But I can workaround that. Not booting on Windows (Vista or 7) ? 
Sure. But also going to the BIOS and changing the "USB Mouse" 
option from "Enable" to "Disable", or from "Disable" to 
"Enable" before booting on Linux.

Is there a workaround in the kernel itself ?
