ehci: Use uframe precision for interrupt threshold checking (v2)
Before this patch, the following could happen:
1) Transfer completes, raises interrupt
2) .5 ms later we check if the guest has queued up any new transfers
3) We find and execute a new transfer
4) .2 ms later the new transfer completes
5) We re-run our frame_timer to write back the completion, but less then
1 ms has passed since our last run, so frindex is not changed, so the
interrupt threshold code delays the interrupt
6) 1 ms from the re-run our frame-timer runs again and finally delivers
the interrupt
This leads to unnecessary large delays of interrupts, this code fixes this
by changing frindex to uframe precision and using that for interrupt threshold
control, making the interrupt fire at step 5 for guest which have low interrupt
threshold settings (like Linux).
Note that the guest still sees the frindex move in steps of 8 for migration
compatibility.
This boosts Linux read speed of a simple cheap USB thumb drive by 6 %.
Changes in v2:
-Make the guest see frindex move in steps of 8 by modifying ehci_opreg_read,
rather then using a shadow variable
