2.6.9-rc3-mm2 USB Oopses

[Bernhard Rosenkraenzer]

I'm getting this on bootup when probing for USB devices when a USB-to-serial 
converter (pl2303, worked in earlier 2.6 and 2.4 kernels) is attached [this is 
2.6.9-rc3-mm2 w/ the patches for the network lockups posted on lkml 
yesterday, on an athlon64 in 32 bit mode]:

After that the system works well, unless something tries to use USB - starting 
cupsd (which tries to scan for USB printers) hangs, running lsusb shows one 
of the USB ports (first port w/ nothing plugged in), then hangs and can't 
even be stopped with kill -9.
