Haha, that's exactly what I don't know – which kexts are essential! Should I have two copies of FakeSMC and Voodoo* kexts then, both in Other and in /L/E? (I moved USBInjectAll to /L/E in the meantime, no problems there.)

OK, I checked. Having Voodoo* kexts in /L/E also breaks the keyboard and trackpad. Whether Voodoo* is also in Other or not.
Summary: FakeSMC and Voodoo* kexts must be only in kexts/Other, either copying or moving them to /Library/Extensions breaks the keyboard and trackpad. Which is interesting in itself, since InjectKexts is set to Detect. And those are the same versions, because I'm moving the same files back and forth.

Of course. If I didn't know how to install kexts I wouldn't get anywhere near working keyboard (or anything else) Kextcache's output keeps an eye on me.
I have to go to sleep – hopefully I will wake up easier than the Hacbook – thanks and looking forward to finding out what super-n00b mistake I'm making and where!

Out of sheer curiosity, I am checking what exactly is happening when I put FakeSMC and Voodoo* kexts in /L/E. I also removed CodecCommander and it made no difference to my sound or anything else. Don't know if it's interesting, putting it in a spoiler, but there are a few differences depending on location of the files.
Very rarely, both the keyboard and trackpad are not working after a fresh boot or after sleep, even on systems where this is normally not a problem. As of the v1.7.15a release this problem appears to be solved. Time will tell.
(I have version 1.9.2)
Summary: Installing Voodoo* and FakeSMC to /L/E kills off USB 3.1, IOJones detects no changes in the setup at all. Installing them to /S/L/E with Kext Utility leaves USB 3.1 alone in the System Report (!) but still, no trackpad. The only way for my trackpad to work is to keep those kexts in /kexts/Other only.
The main difference I see is that when I install those kexts and look at the result of sudo kextcache -i / I get:
Invalid signature -67050 for kext <OSKext 0x7fdf329c83f0 [0x7fffa29548f0]> { URL = "VoodooI2CServices.kext/ -- file:///System/Library/Extensions/VoodooI2C.kext/Contents/PlugIns/", ID = "com.alexandred.VoodooI2CServices" }

(They are still allowed and installed, checked with kextstat)
Attaching problem reporting files with non-working trackpad and Voodoo* + FakeSMC in /S/L/E *and* /kexts/Other. Mind you, this is the output of install_sh – IOReg doesn't work even though it's version 2.1 downloaded from RehabMan's post:

Magic! They worked. So now I have all the kexts in /L/E and FakeSMC, Voodoo*, USBInjectAll in /kexts/Other. Thanks! I've never even heard of this problem before, not to mention knowing there were patches for it.
Unfortunately still no USB 3.1 hotplug, no microphone, and no wake
New files attached. (Any idea why IOReg 2.1 won't work and I have to do a manual dump? It opens three times, with increasing delays, proceeding to do nothing.)

you have this situation:
PreventUserIdleSystemSleep named: "com.apple.audio.GDAudioDevice_UID.context.preventuseridlesleep"
from your kextstat.log
also enable the patches in config,plist:
The following fixes may be needed for onboard audio/USB/etc
usb hotplug, make sure you use the correct setting in your SSDT:
If it uses the same SSxx in both orientations, then it has an internal switch (UsbConnector=9).
If it uses a different SSxx in each orientation, then it has no switch (UsbConnector=10).
