Loading a driver that uses the IRQ should re-enable it.

What exactly do you mean?  Can you provide a dmesg log with
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG turned on?

Are you entirely certain that 2.6.19 works perfectly?  It does a lot less 
autosuspending than 2.6.20, true...  But if you force a suspend in 2.6.19 
do you then see the same sort of IRQ trouble?

write.
