Well, although I don't mind empty while()s at all (they're clean and obvious
IMHO) I would remove an empty blightful while loop with something like this:

do {
	ret = xhci_handle_event(xhci);
} while (ret > 0);

;-) (Not sure that refactoring its contents into the IRQ handler is a good idea,
if that area's going to be revisited soon to extend error
handling/reporting.)

Cheers,
