IBM T30 USB issue: kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 1

[Lee Damon]

I just doubled USB_PORT_POWERUP_DELAY from 300 to 600.  Same problem when
I hit the bluetooth button.   All tests have been done with the laptop
running on AC line feed.  I doubt it's related, but this system is
using APM because ACPI doesn't work right yet.
