USB power save, battery life and laptops - testers wanted

[Hans Petter Selasky]

Hi,

I need some help testing out my USB powersave implementation. There are now 
multiple levels of USB power save:

1) Turn off USB controller schedules when there are no transactions (1-4 
seconds, not tuneable)
2) Suspend actual USB device (30 seconds, tuneable)

Powersave is enabled by default.

Tuneables:
==========

How to set power save delay in seconds:

sysctl hw.usb2.power_timeout=10

How to disable power save for the given USB device:

usbconfig -u xxx -a yyy power_on

How to enable power save for the given USB device:

usbconfig -u xxx -a yyy power_save

Known to work:
==============

EHCI+UHCI

OHCI - not tested yet
