Subject: [PATCH v6] ehci: fix EHCI host controller initialization sequence

According to EHCI spec, EHCI HC clears USBSTS.HCHalted whenever
USBCMD.RS=1.

However, it is a good practice to wait some time after setting USBCMD.RS
(approximately 100ms) until USBSTS.HCHalted become zero.

Without this waiting, VirtualBox's EHCI virtual HC accidentally hangs
(see BugLink).
