[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.
