From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

Often the guest will queue up new packets in response to a packet, in the
async schedule with its IOC flag set, completing. By speeding up the
frame-timer, we notice these new packets earlier. This increases the
speed (MB/s) of a Linux guest reading from a USB mass storage device by a
factor of 1.15 on top of the "Improve latency of interrupt delivery"
speed-ups, both with and without input pipelining enabled.

I've not tested the speed-up of this patch without the
"Improve latency of interrupt delivery" patch.
