Do you mean that you took the source code for ehci-hcd from the 2.6.31 
kernel, copied it into the source directory for the 2.6.32 kernel, and 
built it there?

Have you tried comparing a usbmon trace from 2.6.31 with a comparable 
trace from 2.6.32?  I doubt there will be any important differences, 
but you never know until you try.

If the two traces are the same, that rules out everything in the USB 
and SCSI stacks except for ehci-hcd, and you have already ruled that 
out.
