 Yes, that solved my problem. But the patch (for 5.x) uses different line
numbers:

 	sc->sc_bus.no_intrs++;
 	if (eintrs & EHCI_STS_IAA) {

 Apart from this the patch works: the writing process still spends much time
in the wdrain state, but no stalls occurs.

 Just a remark: my USB 2.0 controller chip is made by NEC, not VIA.

 For a FAT curiosity: FAT 32 gives 700K/sec and FAT 16 -- 3 Mb/sec.
