Ok, thanks.

The original plan in my teams was that Manjunath would do that after
he was done with the simple conversion of the EHCI drivers. I think we
can all agree now that it's better if you at least the groundwork instead.

Please let us know if you would like Manjunath to continue with splitting
out the OHCI back-ends into separate drivers, or if you think that there
is no point given the quality of the earlier patches.
