Probably some are so out-of-date that they've been solved unnoticed...

(Gotta check if I have a recently-introduced panic when disconnecting a
USB mouse dongle, with my nonstandard codes, though I hate to crash a
running system; apart from that, I'm running mostly stable with 4.x,
with the exception that combining USB ethernet and consoles appears to
cause a total freeze eventually with redrawing the screen -- also a
problem with network over serial-port PPP)

Let me see if I can help, without really participating in the PRs:

| a [2003/03/02] kern/48849  usb         Maxtor XT5000 causes panic in boot

I have such a device, and the only problem I've had (4.x) is minor,
for which I added the NO_GETMAXLUN quirk.  I use it all the time.


| o [2005/01/08] usb/75941   usb         system halted during booting due to ehci

Could this be the thing described some time back, where I needed to change
usb.c in 4.x in order to avoid a panic?

/* XXX HACK disable to see if ehci re-attach panic doesn't happen, as
        well as still allowing USB2 hubs to attach to non-ehci ...  */
#if 1
                /*
                 * Turning this code off will delay attachment of USB devices
                 * until the USB event thread is running, which means that
                 * the keyboard will not work until after cold boot.
                 */

(I don't use EHCI due to eventual problems with it after some time; I need
the stability, as of a few months ago)


| f [2004/10/11] i386/72497  usb         WD USB Disk Panics -stable and 5.2.1

Could this be the same thing?  I have two WD disks, and they work, though
there is a difference in reported size from USB and Firewire...  (add that
to my list of USB problems)


| o [2003/12/15] kern/60276  usb         [usb] Kernel panic when plugging in USB (

| f [2004/01/23] kern/61804  usb         [panic] panic with hitachi travelstar USB
| o [2004/01/30] kern/62123  usb         [usb] LaCie 160GB USB drive umass: BBB re

These all seem to be describing the same thing.  Admittedly, I haven't seen
it, but I'd only tried two chipsets (and have only one at hand now).


| o [2004/09/11] kern/71605  usb         [usb] [patch] umass doesn't recognize mul

This is a 4.x problem; my 4.x umass.c hacks don't have this problem, but the
patch in this PR is not in my hacked umass.c ...  My umass.c is based on
-current, which also does not have this problem.
