I noticied that parport_pc and 8250[_pnp] modules
can't be re-loaded without rebooting when PNP is
turned on in kernel config.  Here's how it looks
like:

Ie, for some reason, on second module loading, the device
isn't being enabled or something like that, maybe after
first "pnp: Device 00:08 disabled.".  The only way to cure
the problem is to reboot the machine.  The same is true for
8250[_pnp] module aswell, with very similar effects.

Is it just me, or is it some known issue?

And maybe somewhat related issue..  When playing with this stuff on
another machine, I got kernel OOPS on first rmmod of parport_pc:
