This was about the PPC4xx PowerPC port, not committed to the tree yet.  
Unlike most PowerPC this system has a de-coherent DMA and therefore  
its busdma sync is non empty, but needs to enforce coherency by  
software.

The point is this is another platform on which USB stack (usb_pc_cpu_*  
functions) shows similar issues as reported for ARM and MIPS.
