That "sleep" is a workaround for "uhci" and "usb-uhci" bugs:
they don't queue control transfers.  No complete user mode
workaround is possible; it doesn't affect just hotplug, or
even just usbfs-based applications.

The real fix is just to get rid of it on 2.5, where "uhci-hcd"
has been fixed, rather than to keep making all USB hotplugging
be annoyingly slow.

That's why I won't merge this patch.
