Can you test the attached patch please?  In case it doesn't fix the bug:
Can you forward the reproducer to me?

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] ehci: make idt processing more robust

Make ehci_process_itd return an error in case we didn't do any actual
iso transfer because we've found no active transaction.  That'll avoid
ehci happily run in circles forever if the guest builds a loop out of
idts.
