I had an usb3 flash stick behind the EHCI controller which was passed
through from the host to a kvm guest. The performance numbers in the
guest were equal (some noise was there) with and without the patch.
The numbers with the patch were worse if lockdep was enabled which isn't
much of a surprise.
If you have anything specific requirements for a measurement then please
let me know and I see what I can do.
