This is an odd sort of error.

Particular places to look at for changes are drivers/usb/host/ehci*.c and 
drivers/usb/host/pci-quirks.c.  That's where changes could have a direct 
effect.

There are loads of other places where changes could have an indirect 
effect.  For example, changes in ACPI might cause incorrect IRQ vector 
assignments (compare /proc/interrupts in the two kernels).  Or changes in 
the DMA code could mess things up.

The git bisection question probably has to do with exactly which patches
were applied during the bisection process.  If you apply only the
changesets leading up to the one identified and the test succeeds, and
then you add that extra changeset and the test fails, then you know
something has happened.  Even if removing that particular changeset from
2.6.16-rc6 doesn't make any difference.
