We're seeing a large number of problems with devices not appreciating
USB autosuspend, especially printers and scanners. According to
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/bus/USB/USBFAQ_intro.mspx only a
subset of drivers support it in Windows XP, meaning that most devices
are probably untested in this situation. This patch alters the behaviour
to match that of Windows. Userspace can still whitelist devices as
appropriate, and the set of classes supporting autosuspend probably
covers pretty much every driver likely to be found on any portable
device.
