Plus it does unneccessary flushes on x86, etc...

Noticed that as well, there should be an arch-obeying helper for this.


On my MIPSEL, I had urb->transfer_buffer NULL ptr crashes
(I think that was expected in case of a certain DMA setup, Alan said).

However, even with NULL check added I still had:

hub 2-1.1:1.0: state 7 ports 7 chg 0000 evt 0010
Unhandled kernel unaligned access[#1]:

Just to avoid confusion - that's a similar patch applied to a different
driver. The ISP1760 HCD driver works fine with my patch (transfer_buffer
never seems to be NULL with latest mainline). I can't comment on the
ehci-q.c driver (it looks like it has some support for DMA while my
patch only applies to PIO drivers where transfer_buffer should be set).
