   The Jornada 720 has the SA1111 companion chip which contains an OHCI
   USB host controller. I don't know whether it is brought out to an
   external connector though as I don't own a J720.

   There is a bug in the SA1111 that means that it can only do bus
   master DMA into the first ~1M of RAM, depending on SDRAM type. There
   isn't a PIO interface to the USB controller.

   To get this to work we would need to add a bounce buffer implementation
   and either move the kernel start address up, or create some hole fairly
   near the start of it.

   I have got a SA1111 OHCI attachment file which attaches the generic
   ohci driver, but I haven't written the bounce buffer stuff.

I really hope that the USB host controller pins are brought out, but I am
not hopeful.  When you attach the J720 to another NetBSD system, it
presents itself as some special USB device and attaches to ugen.  The
docking station itself does not appear to house anything except wire.
