>Description:
When a macppc machine with a USB keyboard and a GENERIC kernel can't find its root device and prompts for one at boot, every keystroke causes several "ohci_intr: ignored interrupt while polling" messages.  In addition to being really annoying, this often seems to prevent the keystrokes from being recognized, thus preventing the user from continuing the boot.

It would be really nice to fix this in the release branch before the next release, since it can keep new users from getting up and running.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot a macppc machine with a USB console keyboard in such a way that it prompts for a root device.  Attempt to type the root device.  
>Fix:
Remove the offending printf in sys/dev/usb/ohci.c.
