Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for your updated version.
I actually managed to fix and merge the USB_UHCI_support-v2 to
kdb patchset 2.6.24-rc8-3 (and thus the 2.6.24-1 patch set.)
Well, Aaron noticed that OHCI was broken and we noticed dropped
characters.

So, here is the plan. I will back out USB_UHCI_support part of code from
2.6.24-1 and remove USB_UHCI_support-v2.bz from the download area, and
we will start with your new patch.

Thanks,
 - jay
