This XHCI_INTEL_HOST is not available in Precise so this will not have any
effect there.  It does appear in Trusty and later, so it is probabally
appropriate there.  For Precise it would at least need the changes to
drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci.c and drivers/usb/host/xhci.h from:

  commit e3567d2c15a7a8e2f992a5f7c7683453ca406d82
  Author: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp at linux.intel.com>
  Date:   Wed May 16 13:36:24 2012 -0700

    xhci: Add Intel U1/U2 timeout policy.

So for Trusty and up, more thought is needed for Precise:

A final note that this does need to be applied to linux-lts-utopic in
Trusty as well.
