kernel panic trying to utilize a da(4)/umass(4) device with ohci(4)

The OHCI driver is largely synced with NetBSD so you might see if they
have the same bug.

This might be the underlying wierdness we were seeing in gtetlow's
microdrive with transfers over 8k.  The one-page-crossing ohci limitation
is really annoying.

Stalls usually come from the device receiving bad data.  Rather than
return errors, usb generally just hangs the endpoint.
