Odd.  Is skelqh[1] the only entry whose node.next is NULL?  Not 
skelqh[2] or others?

The node is initialized during uhci_start() in uhci-hcd.c -- there's a
loop which initializes all the uhci->skelqh[i] entries by calling
uhci_alloc_qh().  You should check inside that loop to see whether
uhci->skelqh[i]->node.next is NULL to begin with.  If it is then
something about the DMA-coherent memory is funny; if not then the
linked list pointer gets corrupted somewhere.
