Gah, except that my experiment in clockswitching made the usb stack mad,
so it's constantly priniting "usb0: X scheduling overruns", where X
appears to be a number containing one or two bits of entropy per second.
I will have to go visit ohci.c with a cluebat when I get a chance.

Er, it stopped when I plugged in the power cord, and starts again when I
unplugged it.  Is it possible that ohci.c is reading some USB voltage
value instead of the overrun bit that it thinks it is reading?
