The following looks very suspicious:

Jan 2 23:05:17 tits kernel: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: f2 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [4842]
Jan 2 23:05:17 tits kernel: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fa <- i8042 (interrupt, kbd, 1, timeout) [4866]
Jan 2 23:05:17 tits kernel: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: ab <- i8042 (interrupt, kbd, 1, timeout) [4874]
Jan 2 23:05:17 tits kernel: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 41 <- i8042 (interrupt, kbd, 1, timeout) [4882]
Jan 2 23:05:17 tits kernel: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: ed -> i8042 (kbd-data) [4882]
Jan 2 23:05:17 tits kernel: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fa <- i8042 (interrupt, kbd, 1) [4894]
Jan 2 23:05:17 tits kernel: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 00 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [4894]
Jan 2 23:05:17 tits kernel: drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fa <- i8042 (interrupt, kbd, 1) [4906]

atkbd driver tries to get ID from the attached device but although the
controller responds with valid keyboard ID it also for some reason indicates
that the connected device times out. Wierd...

Could you try booting with "acpi=off"?
