    [PATCH] USB: early usb handoff for 2.6 · a83b8e19
    John Stultz authored
            Apparently there is an issue w/ the IBM x440/x445's BIOS's USB
    Legacy support. Due to the delay in issuing SMI's across the IOAPICs,
    its possible for I/O to ports 60/64 to cause register corruption.
    
    The solution is to disable the BIOS's USB Legacy support early in
    boot(via PCI quirks) for x440/x445 systems.
    
    Originally written by Vojtech against SuSE's tree, this patch was then
    updated to disable EHCI by Aleksey Gorelov, cleaned up by Pete Zaitcev
    for 2.4 and finally tweaked and updated against 2.6 by me.
    
    I've lightly tested this version of the patch, but it differs little
    from what Aleksey, Pete and I have been testing for 2.4.
