Maybe speed up USB port scan ? This really needs to be parallelized
by using some for of cooperative multi-tasking.

For starters just parallelizing the scanning of separate controllers
in drivers/usb/host/usb-uclass.c: usb_init() by splitting
usb_scan_bus() into a  usb_scan_bus_start() and usb_scan_bus_get_status()
with the latter being called repeatedly until all busses are done
would already help. Then do something similar for scanning all
ports of a hub in "parallel", etc.

Hans
