On other runs the allocations turn out OK:

uhci_alloc_td: uhci ffff88002e631b08 td ffff88002e621000 dma_handle 4ce2f000

but the controller crashes and the structures seem to have been corrupted:

uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: host controller process error, something bad happened!
uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: host controller halted, very bad!

Any clues about what this means?  Also, where's the best place to dump 
all the structures before kicking off the hardware to make sure they're 
correct from the outset?
