This patch fixes the USB hub module to process events in the order that they
are received. It fixes the case where multi-port devices have multiple
hubs in them--while they are detected in the correct order, they are
initialized in reverse. It is required for the Sealink 8-port USB->serial hubs
to initialize with the port numbers in the correct order.

I don't think it breaks any existing functionality, but I won't send this to
Linus yet till I know it doesn't break anything.

Patch below against 2.6.7-rc3.
