works on your SH4 setup too!
I think you meant to say it's been tested on a few MIPS machines
that
are *not* DMA cache coherent.

more needed too ... getting rid of bus_to_virt calls, and managing
single shot DMA mappings for the transfer and setup buffers.
That's what the ohci64-0324 patch does.- Dave
