I think you and/or Warner got mistaken.  My last round of changes to
if_ep.c _fixed_ some race conditions that previously weren't a problem,
but became a problem once Warner flag'd the pccbb interrupts
INTR_MPSAFE.  It's very possible that there are other problems left in
the ep(4) driver, but I highly doubt my changes to if_ep.c are the
culprit.  I'm sorry but I can't do anything for you since I don't even
have ep(4) hardware here ; I was able to fix the race conditions
mentioned above because people reported panics with stacktrace that made
the problem obvious.
