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.
