This should now read:
                 o unsafe sleep_on in ibmcam, ov511, plusb and uss720
                   drivers

Sorry for stating differently before. Problems in the plusb and uss720
drivers were pointed out to me after I last wrote.

Again, what does this refer to? What functions, and in what files? There
is no usbpl_ functions and I can't find any past references to them.
Does anyone know what this means?

If not, I guess it isn't a problem :)
