And presumably, if you blacklist the de2104x driver then your USB 
controller works without any problems.

For some reason, the de2104x driver isn't listed as a handler for IRQ 10.  
That's probably the cause of the problem.  Did you have any full- or 
low-speed USB devices plugged in at the time this occurred?  If you didn't 
then the UHCI hardware would not have generated any interrupt requests.
