I compiled 2.5.25 yesterday,
and found the organisation of the USB host files difficult to fathom.

 (1) As far as I could make out, one _had_ to choose uhci-hcd
 if one one simply ran "make xconfig" and wanted UHCI.
 If this is the intention, why leave the other uhci*.c files there?
 If they don't work, they shouldn't be there.
 If they do work, they should be offered as options.

 (2) The name "uhci-hcd" struck me as odd.
 Surely "usb" should figure in it, if people (in particular, me) are not to get 
confused?

 (3) I found the documentation on this subject, in uhci.txt,
 less than lucid.

I'm a bit grumpy, as the kernel didn't actually work on my Sony C1VFK --
or at least it only works one time in three.
The other two times it bombs out with "hda: error: DMA in progress".
(I realise this has nothing to do with USB.)
