USB and power management issues

[Luca Falavigna]

Hello,

I provided some help to a couple of users in the Italian Ubuntu forum having
issues with USB and power management. Some times ago I had a similar behaviour
and I partially fixed in the way listed at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucaFalavigna/QuickFixes.

As today, Ubuntu kernels do not include such option and users need to recompile
their kernels in order to avoid this behaviour. Is there any drawback enabling
it in Ubuntu kernels starting from Feisty? I think it could be useful to whom
suffers from this issue.

I link the threads regarding this for your reference:

Thank you for the attention.
