But OHCI controllers have individual "used by SMM" bits and taking over one controller doesn't affect the bits of the other controllers - they remain set. Not that it means that SMM code actually keeps on controlling them. Actually, just checked - Linux also does it per controller: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.31/drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c#L495 -- Andriy GaponReceived on Mon Sep 28 2009 - 11:55:49 UTC
