reduced for more than 6MB/sec while we are using ehci-hcd. When
unloading ehci-hcd the win in tranfer-capacity is mor than 6MB/sec.
(use hdparm -t /dev/<device> for measurement)

Note, the throughput drop is not just _while_ you're using ehci-hcd even. Once it has been used once, the trouble stays until ehci-hcd is unloaded. For example, I can switch off or even unplug my USB2 HDD (my only USB2 device) after it has been on, but nothing other than modprobe -r ehci-hcd solves anything:

so is this a bit of over-reaction or appropriate?

Well, I'll just sit here and try patches when they come in okay? :-)
