Fingering BIOS/SMM code as the guilty party should
speed up fixes or workarounds.
- Dave
This changes the OHCI "USB HC TakeOver failed" message to be a bit
more informative, by fingering the root cause: a BIOS/SMM bug.
That way they're more likely to either bug the board vendor, or find
workarounds (like tweaking the BIOS setup, or the ohci_hcd no_handshake
parameter) before giving up or (wrongly) reporting a Linux bug.
