[For those who haven't followed all the discussions - this patch used
 usb_buffer_alloc() instead of kmalloc() in the audio USB driver]

No, Alan is right. As long as we don't know what's going on, it
shouldn't be fixed that way.

There might be an update to all USB drivers to use a special allocation
function in order to avoid DMA bounce buffers for non-64-bit aware host
controllers, but that's certainly a second step. First, the bug that you
see needs attention, and the longer you can reproduce it, the better :)
