File CVE-2016-4037-qemuu-usb-Infinite-loop-vulnerability-in-usb_ehci-using-siTD-process.patch of Package xen.8426

References: bsc#976111 CVE-2016-4037

Commit "156a2e4 ehci: make idt processing more robust" tries to avoid a
DoS by the guest (create a circular itd queue and let qemu ehci
emulation run in circles forever).  Unfortunaly this has two problems:
First it misses the case of sitds, and second it reportly breaks
freebsd.

So lets go for a different approach: just count the number of itds and
sitds we have seen per frame and apply a limit.  That should really
catch all cases now.
