It might as well merge in 2.6.25-early.  It'll be easier to integrate
patches that way.  Including your Blackfin port.  When I asked before,
nobody hugely objected to "one big patch".

Yes, something needs to be done.  EHCI might benefit from the same
kind of patch, to cope with ill-behaved usb thumb drives.

That sounds much better than your original patch, which disabled it
always.  It might even be worth allocating a flag somewhere in the
usb_device structure to record when ep0 pings seem to misbehave.
