xhci: Make handover code more robust
My test platform (Intel DX79SI) boots reliably under BIOS, but frequently crashes when booting via UEFI. I finally tracked this down to the xhci handoff code. It seems that reads from the device occasionally just return 0xff, resulting in xhci_find_next_cap_offset generating a value that's larger than the resource region. We then oops when attempting to read the value. Sanity checking that value lets us avoid the crash. I've no idea what's causing the underlying problem, and xhci still doesn't actually *work* even with this, but the machine at least boots which will probably make further debugging easier. This should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31, that contain the commit 66d4eadd "USB: xhci: BIOS handoff and HW initialization."
