Bisecting figured out the culprit:

     UHCI: Eliminate asynchronous skeleton Queue Headers

     This patch (as856) attempts to improve the performance of uhci-hcd by
     removing the asynchronous skeleton Queue Headers.  They don't contain
     any useful information but the controller has to read through them at
     least once every millisecond, incurring a non-zero DMA overhead.

     Now all the asynchronous queues are combined, along with the period-1
     interrupt queue, into a single list with a single skeleton QH.  The
     start of the low-speed control, full-speed control, and bulk sublists
     is determined by linear search.  Since there should rarely be more
     than a couple of QHs in the list, the searches should incur a much
     smaller total load than keeping the skeleton QHs.

-mm minus (only) this one is OK.
