Hi Marek,

Discard the creepy cache flushing mechanisms in ehci-hcd.c and replace them with more straightforward flushing. In the new approach, the flushing takes place directly in ehci_submit_async() call instead of going through the QH list and flushing all members and buffers. This discards a lot of weird bit operations on the members of QH and qTD structures.
NOTE: Certainly, this flushes even qTDs which are possibly unused in some transactions, though the overhead of the previous code was much higher than is the overhead of flushing two more cache lines (which most probably aren't even cached).

Unfortunately this patch breaks compiling for many powerpc boards, mpc512x, mpc83xx, mpc85xx and QorIQ Px based with USB support enabled.
Thanks, Anatolij
