Ah yes, I see.  So why did I think this was related to UHCI?  <Goes
back and re-reads old email messages...>  Answer: Because you said so 
in your original posting to linux-usb.

This means that the routine to look at is ohci_hub_status_data() in 
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hub.c, not the corresponding UHCI routine.  But 
everything else is pretty much the same; it would still help to add 
printk statements before and after the spin_lock_irqsave() call.  Maybe 
also a printk just before the final "return" statement.
