I can't see anything obvious either.
However there is no response to the 'stop endpoint' command.
Section 4.6.9 (page 107 of rev1.0) states that the controller will complete
any USB IN or OUT transaction before raising the command completion event.
Possibly it is too 'stuck' to complete the transaction?

The endpoint status is also still '1' (running).
This also means that the 'TR dequeue pointer' is undefined - so the
controller could easily be processing a later TRB.
This field might even still contain the ring base address written by
the driver much earlier.

This might mean that something 'catastrophic' has happened earlier.
Maybe the controller isn't actually seeing any doorbell writes at all.
Maybe the base addresses it has for the rings have all got corrupted.
At least this looks like amd64 - so there aren't memory coherency issues.

Some hacks that might help isolate the problem:
1) Request an interrupt from the last nop data TRB.
2) Put a command nop (decimal 23) TRB into the command ring before
   the 'stop endpoint'.
3) Comment out the code that adds the nop data TRBs.
The first two might need code adding to handle the responses.

Do we know the actual xhci device?
I think it reports version 0x96.
(Sarah - it might be useful if that version were in one of the trace
messages that is output by default.)
