Subject: USB disconnects every 30 seconds (2.6.27-rc8)

I'm seeing some odd USB behavior with newer kernels
(2.6.27-rc8-00062-g330f647 to be exact).  Almost exactly, every 30
seconds, one of my USB hubs disconnects.  At first, I thought it was a
hardware issue, and started swapping cables.  Then, I realized that I'd
*just* rebooted into a new kernel.  So, I booted back to the distro
kernel and these went away.

Even though my mouse is hanging off that hub, I don't seem to notice the
disconnects.

The last one I tried before this was -rc3, and it appears to be OK.  The
Ubuntu 2.6.24-19-generic kernel also appears not to have this issue.

A quick scan of LKML and linux-usb didn't turn up anything similar.

The machine is a Lenovo T61 plugged into the Lenovo dock.  At this
point, the only thing plugged into the suspect hub is my mouse.
