In fact the whole thing shouldn't be using jiffies at all.  We should
use ktime_t instead.  And instead of having a fixed 5-ms delay at the
start of ehci_bus_suspend/resume, we should delay only by the amount of
time remaining.  Likewise for ehci_suspend/resume.

Would you like to write a patch to do this?
