I'm not too confident that the guess about all interrupt bits normally 
being off is correct, but in any case the extra test won't hurt.

Guenter, if you want to work on a patch to cache the interrupt-enable 
value in the driver, feel free to do it.  I have too much other stuff 
going on to spend any significant time on ohci-hcd.
