[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/5] ehci-hcd: Boost transfer speed

[Benoît Thébaudeau]

This patch takes advantage of the hardware EHCI qTD queuing mechanism to avoid
software overhead and to make transfers as fast as possible.

The only drawback is a call to memalign. However, this is fast compared to the
transfer timings, and the heap size to allocate is small, e.g. a little bit more
than 100 kB for a transfer length of 65535 packets of 512 bytes.

Tested on i.MX25 and i.MX35. In my test conditions, the speedup was about 15x
using page-aligned buffers, which is really appreciable when accessing large
files.
