-I haven't updated this file in a while.  I have started merging good
-ideas from the ohci-hcd driver into this code as well as simplifying
-the code where I can.  Isochronous transfers still need to be ported
-over from ohci-hcd.  Large control and bulk transfers should be
-working much better now.
-
-A big thanks goes to 3Com and APC for donating me a modem and UPS to
-test with!  They aren't working with OHCI quite yet but we hope to
-change that soon.

-I now have bulk support in a reasonably working state.  The only
-device I have tested it with at the moment is my Epson Stylus 740
-printer.  I can print both small and large files.
-
-I have included code to support transfers of large amounts of data in
-either control or bulk transfers.  Check out the build_td_chain() and
-add_td_chain_to_ed() functions.
-
-TODO:
-
-~ Get Michael Gee's mass storage driver working with my donated
-  YE-Data floppy drive over OHCI.
-~ Drool on the Epson printer because its the new toy around the house.

-
-Paul Mackerras went through the OHCI (& USB code) to fix most of the
-endianness issues so that the code now works on Linux-PPC.  He also
-simplified add_td_to_ed to be simpler & atomic to the hardware.

-
-EDs are now allocated dynamically from their device's pool.  Root hub
-status changes should stop the infinite "no device connected" messages
-that occurred after removing a device.
-
-TODO:
-
-~ Add Isochronous transfer support.  These have their own special
-  format TDs to allow for several DMA data pointers.  Kinda neat, but
-  likely harder to use through a generic interface in practice.
-~ Support dynamic allocation & growth of the TD/ED pools.  Merge them
-  into global pools rather than a today's static per device allocation.
-
-KNOWN BUGS:
-
-~ Unplugging a hub causes khubd to Oops.  I don't think this is
-  directly related to OHCI, but due to the fact that the interrupt TD
-  for the hub is never stopped.  We need a usb_release_irq() that gets
-  called using the "IRQ handle" that should be returned by
-  usb_request_irq().

-
-Cool, things are working "well" now.  (I'm not getting oops's from the
-OHCI code anyways.. ;).  I can attach a usb hub and mouse in any
-possible arrangement of the two and they get configured properly.
-
-You can see that the mouse Interrupt transfers are occuring and being
-acknowledged because /proc/interrupts usb-ohci goes up accordingly with
-mouse movements/events.  That means the TD at least returns some data
-and requeues itself.
