Hi Christoph, Geoff,

I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with the USB drivers for the PS3. Geoff, what
do you think about setting a coherent mask?

Christoph, what mask value would you suggest for the PS2 driver? Typical
DMA addresses 0-0x200000 are mapped to 0x1c000000-0x1c200000 and is memory
managed exclusively by the IOP. Robin indicated that DMA_BIT_MASK(20) or a
nonzero but useless value such as 1 are possibly candidates. It seems quite
unclear what the coherent mask actually means in this case, doesn't it?
