You are concentrating on the symptom instead of the problem.  The
symptom is that "Disabling IRQ #23" message -- don't worry about it.  

The underlying problem is the "ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: HC died;
cleaning up" message -- it should _never_ appear.  If you have a 
reliable way of provoking it then something needs to be fixed.
