 disappears and comes back.  Sometimes it disappears and doesn't come
 back.  In those cases if I rmmod the relevant modules and
 modprobe them again it sometimes comes back and sometimes doesn't.
 When rmmod/modprobe doesn't work, a reboot does.
 But the reboot doesn't remove power from the modem so just resets the
 omap. So it seems that the problem must be in the omap-usb driver. At
 the very least if we could get it to reset the connection to the same
 level as a reboot resets it, then we should be able to improve
 reliability.

 Oh, and by the way:  Don't rfkill block wwan :-(  It doesn't
 actually cause the modem to stop transmitting, but it does cause it
 to be behave very badly in intermittent ways.  My phone had been very
 unstable for quite a while and I eventually traced it to an rfkill
 block all that I had in my startup scripts.  Removing that helped a
 lot.
