I tried lowering the time between raising an interrupt and rescanning the
async schedule to see if the guest has queued a new transfer before, but
that did not have any positive effect. I now believe the cause for this is
that lowering this time made it more likely to hit the 1 ms interrupt
threshold penalty for the next packet, as described in my
"ehci: Use uframe precision for interrupt threshold checking" commit.
Now that we do interrupt threshold handling with uframe precision, futher
lowering this time from .5 to .25 ms gives an extra 15% improvement in speed
(MB/s) reading from a simple USB-2.0 thumb-drive.
While at it also properly set the int_req_by_async flag for short packet
completions.
