== Andries, what kind of USB problems did you have with 2.5.16?

Yes, I must keep coming back until this is cleared up.

2.5.14 works.
2.5.15 works.
2.5.16 hangs upon insmod usb-storage
2.5.16 with the usb/storage directory replaced by that from 2.5.15 works

The patch from 2.5.15 to 2.5.16 is 130kB or so.
Split the patch in separate subpatches. After applying 90kB of those
things still work. Must look a bit better at the last part.
Unfortunately not before Friday.
Maybe the hang is because of the replacement of semaphores by spinlocks?

[Can the author of that code (try to) check that the locking stuff is OK?]

In the above "works" may involve an Oops at boot time that goes away
after a power cycle.

Something that doesnt cause a failure, but is very ugly:
Why was
        status_byte(srb->result) == GOOD
replaced by
        srb->result == GOOD << 1
?
