I would remove it from whiteheat and ftdi_sio as well (and maybe kill the
workqueue stuff). They set it to work around a long fixed buffering
problem.

The one case you still want it present is if you have hardware which can
really do very low latencies (ie *not* USB) and you are doing protocols
which need fast turnarounds such as unwindowed serial download protocols.
