[ACPI] Bad interaction between ehci-hcd and acpi?

[Bryan K. W. <br...@ay...>]

Hi folks,

	The ehci-hcd kernel module enables support for high-speed USB
devices.  I've noticed the following oddity:  When I plug in a high-speed
USB device, the CPU temperature jumps up by about 25 degrees C.  The 
temperature stays up even after I unplug the USB device.  Rmmod'ing
the ehci-hcd module brings the temperature back down.  I can then
re-install the ehci-hcd module, and things stay normal until the next
time I plug in a high-speed USB device.

	Here are the configuration details:
Kernel 2.4.21 (vanilla) with the acpi-20030619-2.4.21.diff patch.
Sharp PC-AV18 laptop (KN266, Athlon XP-M 1800+)
Tested with two different models of Epson scanner, and with two different
brands of external USB disks.

	I've also recently tried using 'athcool', which enables
the VLink auto-disconnect bit and the 'bus disconnect on STPGNT' bit
(this was already set).  I'd hoped it might fix the odd behavior noted
above, but athcool doesn't seem to make any difference.

	Has anybody else seen similar symptoms?

						Thanks,
						Bryan
