Hello Kevin,

I decided to try and debug this myself. The attached patch is what I
came up with. Within the limitations of typing abilities, it is now
perfect. No sluggishness and no dropped keys. The head == next check
was failing when it should have passed. The reason is that the
toggleCarry bit is often set in endpoint descriptor dword #2, at least
on AMD hardware. Hopefully this change is compatible with qemu, Intel,
and other OHCI controllers.

Thanks,
Scott


Mask toggleCarry and Halted flags in endpoint descriptor dword #2 so that
the remaining head pointer field is valid for comparing with the next
pointer.
