The conclusion is that ohci-hcd is the only driver using IRQ 18.  If 
you build a kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG enabled, it will be possible 
to see if the OHCI hardware is responsible for the IRQ problem.

When the IRQ line gets disabled again, make a copy of the

	/sys/kernel/debug/usb/ohci/*/registers

files and post them, along with a copy of 
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices.
