The best solution is to use bus_dmamap_sync() in in conventional way. I 
mean call bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD) in case 2.a.1 and 
bus_dmamap_sync(..., BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD) in cases 2.a.2 and 1.c. But 
this is quite a big change and it's risky to put in into -current now, 
so below is another solution which I believe is simple and safe.

I understand that usb_pc_cpu_flush() is called *before* write
transfer. So I think that we can just call bus_dmamap_sync(pc->tag,
pc->map, BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE) there.

usb_pc_cpu_invalidate() is called before and after each read transfer
and to invalidate cache before reading status field.
So I think that simplest fix is to call following sequence of functions
in it:
bus_dmamap_sync(pc->tag, pc->map, BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD);
bus_dmamap_sync(pc->tag, pc->map, BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD);

Below is the patch with that solution. I tested it on ARM and PowerPC 
and it fixes the problem. Please test it on other platforms you have to 
see if there is no regression.
