Dear Troy Kisky,
commit 5f6aa03fda2a0a79940765865c1e4266be8a75f8
USB: Fix complaints about strict aliasing in OHCI-HCD
tried to fix this, but gcc4.4 still complains. So, this patch basically reverts the above and does a simpler fix.
also, the above commit incorrectly changed
/* corresponds to data_buf[4-7] */ datab [1] = 0;
to
/* corresponds to databuf.u8[4-7] */ databuf.u8[1] = 0;
This patch also fixes that.

Ok, pardon my sloppiness in reviews ... but why not alloc this cache aligned? That way we'd also circumvent the issues with caches we'd eventually hit anyway.

The rest is OK.
Line 1464 has
if (data != databuf) memcpy(data, databuf, len);
So as far as I can tell, databuf is always copied and there are no cache issues to circumvent. But I have no complaint if you desire to cacheline aligned anyway...
Oh ok ... this is worse than I thought ... ok, I'll apply as-is
