We have managed to get the USB ohci driver to work on the Walnut board.  I
believe one of the problems was that the 405gp platform did not guarantee
cache coherency for pci-dma.

All of the problems found so far are associated with cache coherency.
One of the changes, which still isn't really correct, is to change the
consistent_sync() function to always writeback and invalidate.  We
seem to be more lucky with this, but the proper solution is to cache
line align all buffers subject to DMA.
