thanks,
although it's not easy to figure out how to disable this in gconfig.
USB_WHCI_HCD & USB_HWA_HCD end up under a different menu
(drivers/usb/host).
If you don't know that they exist, all you see is the options under UWB
set to M and gconfig doesn't let you turn them off.

Here's another version of the patch that changes them all to 'depends
on'. This lets gconfig do the right thing :)
