Yes it does.  As discussed recently on this list, the usb bus subsystem 
rwsem is the appropriate lock.

On a totally separate topic:

Have you made any headway trying to decipher the VIA UHCI filter driver?  
I think the one you were looking at must have been their USB-1.1 driver; 
maybe it would be better to examine the USB-2.0 driver, which is the one
that would be installed for a VT6202.  That chip makes a good prototype 
example, even though it's a little old now, of the UHCI halt-on-babble 
problem.

So far technical support at VIA has been completely nonresponsive to 
requests for help.
