As I was not sure if you mean 16 or 19, I did two tests. In both cases, 
the firewire driver and all UHCI controllers except one were unbound. In 
both cases, the system printed the line I added to uhci_hc_died(), 
reported a bad IRQ (16 and 19, respectively), waited, displayed SATA 
errors, waited again, and powered itself off. I.e., the screenshot is 
nearly identical to what I sent earlier.

I forgot to mention that only shutdown is problematic, reboots are OK.
