According to your listing, they are used by uhci-hcd.  Do the messages 
go away if you unload uhci-hcd before shutting down?

You may need to debug the uhci-hcd driver.  Look into
drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.c; the uhci_shutdown() routine ought to be
called and it ought to call uhci_hc_died(), which in turn calls
uhci_reset_hc() in pci-quirks.c, which is supposed to prevent the
controller from generating any IRQs.

Do you have any USB devices attached to bus 3 or bus 6?
