 I just changed it so it will print
 
    ehci_sync_hc: timed out
 
 which is no more helpful but less mysterious.
 
 It seems that ehci_sync_hc pokes the ehci and tells it to send an
 interrupt when it's done (with something-or-other) and then waits; the
 print means that the interrupt didn't happen after one second.
 
 I notice though that ehci_device_intr_abort() says this:
 
    /*
     * XXX - abort_xfer uses ehci_sync_hc, which syncs via the advance
     *       async doorbell. That's dependent on the async list, wheras
     *       intr xfers are periodic, should not use this?
     */
    ehci_abort_xfer(xfer, USBD_CANCELLED);
 
 and I wonder if that's part of the problem...
