This patch significantly changes the scheduling code in ehci-hcd. Instead of calculating the current bandwidth utilization by trudging through the schedule and adding up the times used by the existing transfers, we will now maintain a table holding the time used for each of 64 microframes. This will drastically speed up the bandwidth computations. In addition, it eliminates a theoretical bug. An isochronous endpoint may have bandwidth reserved even at times when it has no transfers listed in the schedule. The table will keep track of the reserved bandwidth, whereas adding up entries in the schedule would miss it. As a corollary, we can keep bandwidth reserved for endpoints even when they aren't in active use. Eventually the bandwidth will be reserved when a new alternate setting is installed; for now the endpoint's reservation takes place when its first URB is submitted. A drawback of this approach is that transfers with an interval larger than 64 microframes will have to be charged for bandwidth as though the interval was 64. In practice this shouldn't matter much; transfers with longer intervals tend to be rather short anyway (things like hubs or HID devices). Another minor drawback is that we will keep track of two different period and phase values: the actual ones and the ones used for bandwidth allocation (which are limited to 64). This adds only a small amount of overhead: 3 bytes for each endpoint. The patch also adds a new debugfs file named "bandwidth" to display the information stored in the new table.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
