Subject: [PATCH 360/366] ehci: Don't process too much frames in 1 timer tick

The Linux ehci isoc scheduling code fills the entire schedule ahead of
time minus 80 frames. If we make a large jump in where we are in the
schedule, ie 40 frames, then the scheduler all of a sudden will only have
40 frames left to work in, causing it to fail packet submissions
with error -27 (-EFBIG).

Note at first I had MAX_FR_PER_TICK set to 8, which works well with newer
Linux guest kernels, but not with older ones (such as the RHEL-6 kernel).
