It wasn't an oops, just a warning.

To track this down, you might try building 2.6.23-rc3 with
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG enabled. Then retrieve the dmesg log after the
keyboard stops working and post it. You probably ought to CC: the
maintainer of the HID core layer as well (and you can trim the existing
CC: list).
