According to Arnd, any remaining possible issues will be addressed by changing the implementation of readl/writel on ARM. It doesn't look as though the ehci files need anything else done. As far as I can tell, the other structures in ehci.h have ((aligned(32)) simply in order to save space, since there can be large numbers of these structures allocated. That doesn't apply to the structures in ehci_def.h; there will only be one of each.
