Even if CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is defined, ports still won't always be 
suspended before bus_suspend() runs.  This will happen during the 
FREEZE and PRETHAW phases of hibernation.

In fact, during FREEZE and PRETHAW it isn't really necessary to suspend 
the xHCI controller.  All that is needed is to make sure that it stops 
issuing interrupts and doing DMA.

I don't think so; the summary for that repository says "junk tree,
please ignore".  The last time I checked, Greg's work was not 
available in a git repository.  You have to look at the most recent 
patch files in:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/

Right now that would be gregkh-07-usb-2.6.33.patch or 
gregkh-all-2.6.33.patch.
