SubjectRE: sharing interrupt between PCI device

That is not quite correct. Nothing is routed through hpilo.

The problem is that there is a shared hardware resource in iLO function 2 (hpilo),
and it is used by iLO function 4 (uhci_hcd kdb/mouse). When hpilo is unloaded,
the pci_device_disable() call removes the ability for this function to act as a
busmaster, which stops the uhci_hcd from functioning correctly.

Reloading hpilo will enable the remote console again.

Removing the pci_disable_device() "fixes" the problem, but doing that worries me.
