For those desperate for a viable workaround while the problem persists,
I recommend trying the following as it works for me.

# sudo modprobe -r usbmouse && sudo modprobe -i usbmouse

That works for my mouse — it can then be plugged into any usb port and
will work, this workaround isn't almighty though since my usb storage
works in neither of the ports. So I fix it in the same fashion:

# sudo modprobe -r usb-storage && sudo modprobe -i usb-storage

I get the module names by asking modprobe (modprobe -l usb*).
Don't know what would work for other devices or if there's a way to reset all 
usb stuff at once.
Also, creating a custom command for these lines is sweet.
