This patch (as1069c) changes the way OHCI root-hub status-change
interrupts are enabled. Currently a special HCD method,
hub_irq_enable(), is called when the hub driver is finished using a
root hub. This approach turns out to be subject to races, resulting
in unnecessary polling.
The patch does away with the method entirely. Instead, the driver
automatically enables the RHSC interrupt when no more status changes
are present. This scheme is safe with controllers using
level-triggered semantics for their interrupt flags.

This reverts commit e872154921.
Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for
him when loading the OHCI driver. Extensive netconsole capture with
SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data()
when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236
for an analysis.
The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit
that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things
work for him again.

Since 43cc71eed1, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable USB HCDs,
to allow re-enable auto loading.
