I'm thinking of the EHCI hand-over. In the case of EHCI handover beeing 
successful within the timeout, you never clear the USBLEGCTLSTS register

case of a successful handover with SMI's still enabled. To what purpose? A 
buggy BIOS would maybe act upon such stuff? Maybe thats a case for lost devices 
etc?
Ok, I made a short look into Linux USB source code and I saw there is USBLEGCTLSTS register reset in any case. (What is maybe more interesting, Linux driver DOES NOT handover on some (broken) devices, only reset SMI...)

So I prepared simple "SMI" patch (attached).
