2.6.36-rc1: WARNING when loading ehci-hcd module

[Nick Bowler <nbowler@elliptictech.com>]

After installing 2.6.36-rc1, I found a call trace in my dmesg after
boot.  Traking it down a bit, it appears to happen when ehci-hcd is
loaded.  The log after running 'modprobe ehci-hcd' appended to this
mail.  This wasn't a problem in 2.6.35, but I don't have time to bisect
right now.

Now, I see the warning about how ehci should be loaded before uhci.  I
also see that this is apparently not a new message.  My configuration
has uhci built-in but ehci as a module.  If this is not a supported
configuration, probably some dependencies need to be fixed in the
Kconfig.

Other than the trace, there seems to be no problems related to ehci.
