I'll poke a colleague who has a Lenovo laptop with BDW.

I suspected the symptom rather being XHCI_SPURIOUS_REBOOT, judging
from the description, but it's buggy BIOS thingy, so everything may
happen...

I'd take an approach limiting the change to specific platforms
(Google) via DMI match or such, as the device in question is really
old and has a high potential regression risk.  But just my $0.02.
