Note the PCI ID is 1d.3 and the IRQ is 193.

Note that in the earlier kernel, IRQ 193 is assigned to usb3.  That's the 
second UHCI controller, since usb1 is EHCI.

Note that 1d.3 is the fourth UHCI controller; the second is 1d.1.

I don't think so.  To be certain you'd have to check the boot-up log and
verify that 1d.1 is usb3 and 1d.3 is usb5.

>From the information presented here, it looks like -mm1 correctly routes
the 1d.1 controller to IRQ 193 and the 1d.3 controller to IRQ 169, whereas
-mm3 incorrectly routes the 1d.3 controller to IRQ 193.  That would make 
it an ACPI problem.
