It would be ok if someone bothered to copy the USB core code (or better
yet call into it) but the patch in the -mm tree doesn't know about the
zillion OHCI controller bugs, and doesn't know about the suprise
interrupt on switch from BIOS->host you sometimes see.

The real fix is to link the USB code early enough to run before the PC
keyboard code. I've had this confirmed by BIOS folks as well.

But *please* if you are going to copy USB mode switching code copy
working code including all the nasty gungy details!
