With each URB requiring 9 iTDs, and about 5 URBs active at any time, there should be about 5*9 = 45 iTDs in use and 2*9 = 18 iTDs on the free list. By the time each URB completes, it should have released all 9 iTDs back to the free list, and each time an URB is submitted, it should be able to acquire all 9 of the iTDs that it needs from the free list -- it shouldn't have to allocate any from the DMA pool. Looks like you'll have to investigate what's going on inside itd_urb_transaction(). Print out some useful information whenever the size of stream->free_list is above 50, such as the value of num_itds, how many of the loop iterations could get an iTD from the free list, and the value of itd->frame in the case where the "goto alloc_itd" statement is followed. It might be a good idea also to print out the size of the free list in itd_complete(), where it calls ehci_urb_done(), and include the value of ehci->now_frame.
