My iop n2100 shows the exact same problem with 2.6.32-rc1,
and reverting the commit mentioned above fixes it.

None of my other machines (including two non-iop arms, x86,
and ultrasparc) have this problem even though they all have
PCI usb controllers. So the problem looks iop-specific.

I found only two iop-related changes in -rc1 (both affecting
adma.c), but I wasn't able to revert just those two cleanly.
Instead I added just the db8be50c4307dac2b37305fc59c8dc0f978d09ea
change to 2.6.31, and that totally killed it in the same way
it killed 2.6.32-rc1.
