ehci_irq() will work okay in process context, provided the caller 
disables interrupts.

But maybe none of this will be needed after Roger redesigns the
controller suspend to work at the right time.  Or if it is, we could
adopt a simpler alternative: the controller's resume routine could
always call usb_hcd_resume_root_hub().  After all, about the only
reason for doing a runtime resume of the controller is because the root
hub needs to do something.
