Is there a need to adjust the moderation after initial setup?

If not then maybe we could pass the imod_interval as a parameter to
xhci_create_secondary_interrupter(), and avoid exporting
xhci_set_interrupter_moderation()

I can't find the place where xhci_sideband_enable_interrupt() is called in
this series. How is it planned to be used?
