Could this happen with the usb-uhci code as well?  I didn't see a
similar completion list.

Is there a good way to track down how long and where interrupts are
being disabled?

Thanks.

Well, it's probably it just an artifact from this code:

        list_add(&urbp->complete_list, &uhci->complete_list);

If we complete multiple URBs during one frame, the completion handlers
will be called in reverse order. This may not be what is expected. If
you can, try changing that to list_add_tail and see if it works like you
expect.

However, I'm more worried that this is even happening in the first
place. Why would we have more than 1 (5 in one example!) complete in one
frame. Sounds like something is turning off interrupts for a LONG time.

Do you have APM turned on by chance? The frequency it happens is very
suspicious (a hair less than every second)

Atleast 3. It all depends on your latency and reliability requirements.
