Just as a quick note to clarify, the uhci.c and usb-uhci.c drivers are
fundamentally different in many areas.
Some of the code is similar (from a previous common version of the code)
but that is only some really basic code to start/stop the HC and
initialization of the controller. Even this is starting to deviate some
bit.
This is why there are 2 different drivers for the same device in the
kernel, because they are so different.
However, a patch has been posted to the linux-usb lists (follow the link
archives on http://www.linux-usb.org) for usb-uhci.c to fix the slab
poisoning related bugs.
