[PATCH] USB UHCI: Use root-hub IRQs while suspended
This patch, which has as478b as a prerequisite, enables the uhci-hcd
driver to take advantage of root-hub IRQs rather than polling during the
time it is suspended. (Unfortunately the hardware doesn't support
port-change interrupts while the controller is running.) It also turns
off the driver's private timer while the controller is suspended, as it
isn't needed then. The combined elimination of polling interrupts and
timer interrupts ought to be enough to allow some systems to save a
noticeable amount of power while they are otherwise idle.
