I'm seeing a 5ms delay in usb_stor_BBB_transport, which occurs every 10K of
data for fatload usb or 500ms of delay per 1MB of image size.  This adds up
to quite a bit of delay if you're loading a large ramdisk.

Does anyone know what the reason for the 5ms delay really is?  I'm assuming
that this delay is to debounce the 5V/100ma USB power up.  I made some
modification, where the delay is skipped if the device has already been
queried as ready.  This has save me 500ms/M on fatload times (eg,
140M=70seconds).  Is there anything wrong with this tweak?

Here's a diff of what I've done to get the performance I need:

I'd appreciate any feedback.
