Hm, that should be OK then.  No chance something is simply using __pa() 
on an address rather than using the proper dma address?

Hm, could well be spurious.

Yes, it must be qh which is NULL.  uhci is the only other dereference 
there, and must be non-NULL to get to that point.

OK, with uhci-hcd.debug=2 on the kernel command line I still get an 
oops, but in a different function.  I guess the qh list is corrupt 
either way?
