Continuing on the USB issue w.r.t cache coherency, the usb host
code is violating the buffer ownership rules of streaming APIs from
dma and non-dma transfers point if view.

We have a below temporary patch to get around the issue and probably it
needs to be fixed in the right way in the stack because some controllers
may not have PIO option even for control transfers. (e.g. Synopsis EHCI
controller)

This seems wrong to me. Buffers for control transfers may be transfered
by DMA, so the caches must be flushed on architectures whose caches
are not coherent with respect to DMA.

Would you care to elaborate on the exact nature of the bug you are fixing?
