 So again it is the BIOS handover. Both the OHCI and the EHCI handover code
 is pretty much by the book as per the specs with some tweaks to work
 around problems from the BSDs and Linux. So I can't say I would know
 anything obvious to do from here on out. It is obvious that an SMI hits as
 soon as the legacy handover is attempted for both OHCI and EHCI. There's
 really nothing we can do about those, as the system management code is
 priviledged. The only thing we can do is trying to work around the issue
 that triggers it. Without having the hardware it's very hard to do
 anything of course, but I'll try to come up with some patches that you
 could try and see.

 BTW it is enough to add the username to the CC field for it to work, but
 in my case, since I'm on the bugs mailing list getting all ticket changes
 anyway, it isn't needed to CC me at all.
