Try to set threshold as maximal as possible to maximize the performance. I will update the descriptions.

Got you.

OK, I will remove the 'usb_' prefix.

OK, I will remove ' usb_set_qrk_bulk_thresh', and change the code as the suggestions.

I will add it in ehci-pci.c instead of /linux/usb/ehci_defs.h, because it is not a generic micro, but just used for Intel Quark X1000.
