unfortunately it does not make a difference that I can notice in the

the resume problem seems to be that we resume all the hubs sequentially,
much like we used to discover them sequentially during boot....

I do not know how much I'm asking for, but would it be sensible to do a
similar thing for hub resume as we did for boot? eg start resuming them
all at the same time, so that the mandatory delays of these hubs will
overlap ?
