following Monteath's theory that the movies will mirror the structure of LOTR (an idea I have said is sound) you just made me realize something... Bilbo being out of place, then unconscious at Bo5A is a reflection of Merry being out of place, then unconscious at the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Though technically I guess, it is not a reflection but the source of an echo. Now I wonder how exactly it will happen? A Sting from behind at Sauron while wearing the Ring? Concerning whether Bilbo is made to be conscious or not, which might havee more to do with Phibbus's comment about getting bonked and Indiana Jones, by the writers for the duration, let me suggest the Lucasian method of structuring the battle with Bilbo being unconscious in a manner a lot like Jar Jar Binks at the battle in The Phantom Menace. Jar Jar's ineptness, or rather clumsiness, cause some respectable damage despite his (and Lucas's) mental handicap. If Lucas were to write and direct The Hobbit for Jackson, and Bilbo remained unconscious, he would have Bilbo carried or dragged about the battle field and his very presence, with such things as being accidentally dumped off a stretcher and rolling down rocks, would cause avalanches and other cascade effects of objects and characters doing things to bring about the end of the battle. All because of Bilbo, our unconscious hero. Look at what Marcus Brody did in Indiana Jones 4. He was more than unconscious, he was dead, and the bronze statue bearing his likeness at the college stopped a car of KGB agents. What a guy.
