Probaby you see more on your AT91 device as you know USB stack internals.
Have you tried to bring up OHCI on you ARM board ?

Not yet. I'm terribly busy with some LibUSB stuff headed for the 8- current
release. As soon as I find time I will fire off a build and debug.

Please note these problems should be considered as a showstopper for the release since USB is currently broken on at least three ARM platforms in the tree (Marvell).

Rafal,

Anything I can do to help?
(as a reminder: I have an Orion board)

Your input on the desired final solution to these issues would be appreciated. Please see the beginning of this thread (originated on usb@ ML), where a quick fix was proposed by Piotr. That patch works around the problems for us (also for some MIPS and noncoherent PPC), but the problem here is that we believe that using bus dma for the purpose of cache synchronization is improper in principle, and cpu- specific calls should be used instead, although Hans is rather reluctant to embracing the latter path.

BTW: Has pmap been fixed for ARM in 8-current?

Seems like the most critical problems (panics) are resolved and will be pushed into SVN shortly. In case you'd like to apply the fix directly, see: http://people.freebsd.org/~raj/patches/arm/pmap-fixes.diff

Good! I was about to start a discussion about reverting
rev. 194459 for now. We're about to start BETA-2 and it
helps (at least Juniper :-) to have 8.0-RELEASE not be
DOA :-)

No worries, we're also looking forward to 8.0 as a great ARM release :-) I will be following up on that pmap-related stuff, but am waiting for confirmation from stas@ there are no regressions on AT91 with this patch.

Rafal
