it's here (in drivers/usb/core/hub.c::hub_power_on):

"non-switchable hub\n");
for (port1 = 1; port1 <= hub->descriptor->bNbrPorts; port1++)
set_port_feature(hub->hdev, port1, USB_PORT_FEAT_POWER);

/* Wait at least 100 msec for power to become stable */
msleep(max(pgood_delay, (unsigned) 100));
}

at least my eeepc901 hits that like 6 or 7 times
(because if I shorten the 100 the boot goes a ton faster.. but that's
obviously just a bad hack)
