I don't think this has anything to do with the oops.  The loading order is
just a simple mistake that could easily be corrected.

The part about loading drivers for non-existent hardware is simply 
annoying.  I had to add "rmmod ohci-hcd" to rc.local because of it.

P.S.: There was a patch posted earlier this week which might be related to 
that oops in sysfs_hash_and_remove.  It was some change to the way the 
endpoint sysfs files were handled.
