Minor clarifications.  The musb_hdrc (*) driver is *currently* used on ARM,
specifically a bunch of TI chips (**), but it's an IP core which has been
licensed by various other vendors.  That is:  it's not ARM-specific.

We already know about work adding Blackfin 5xx support, which I suspect
will appear in the 2.6.28 timeframe, and I've also had queries from folk
using this IP on some PowerPC systems too.

(**) DaVinci, OMAP2, OMAP3 (see beaglebord.org!), and the
     discrete chip used in Nokia 8x0 Linux tablets.
