I have a mostly-finished patch to do the above. I'll include it below, but
first a few words about why it's only mostly finished.

The other Pegasos workarounds are in fixup_device_tree_chrp, and I don't see
anything like an "if(machine_is_pegasos)" around them. What keeps them from
being erroneously run on other CHRP-type machines? I made this patch mainly
by copying pieces of other functions from prom_init.c, but couldn't find the
"test for Pegasos before running a Pegasos workaround" piece.

Another issue is, since the firmware doesn't give me a "compatible" property
with the details of the controller, I just have to assume that it's
little-endian. I'm not sure if that's clean, since the real ohci driver
supports both endiannesses, with at least 3 different Kconfig options(!) to
choose between them.

Then there's the volatile which I guess is supposed to be replaced by
something else, but I don't know what the something else is. I believe this
usage is extremely close to what volatile was meant for.

Finally, when I updated to a more recent upstream kernel to test the patch, I
found that an intervening commit (3df7169e73fc1d71a39cffeacc969f6840cdf52b,
OHCI: work around for nVidia shutdown problem) has had a major effect,
on the appearance of my bug.

Before that change, the window in which the bug could strike was from the end
of prom_init (when the kernel believes that devices are quiescent) to the
initialization of the ohci-hcd driver (which actually quietens the device, or
at least directs its scribbling to a properly allocated page). After the
change, the window ends at some point early in the PCI bus setup. That's a
window so small that with a new kernel, I can't provoke a symptom even if I
try.

Mostly-finished patch:
