UHCI: Eliminate asynchronous skeleton Queue Headers
This patch (as856) attempts to improve the performance of uhci-hcd by
removing the asynchronous skeleton Queue Headers. They don't contain
any useful information but the controller has to read through them at
least once every millisecond, incurring a non-zero DMA overhead.
Now all the asynchronous queues are combined, along with the period-1
interrupt queue, into a single list with a single skeleton QH. The
start of the low-speed control, full-speed control, and bulk sublists
is determined by linear search. Since there should rarely be more
than a couple of QHs in the list, the searches should incur a much
smaller total load than keeping the skeleton QHs.
