Okay, I'm puzzled.  How could this make any difference?  
ehci_bus_suspend() calls end_unlink_async() anyway, whenever reclaim is 
set.

Is the real problem that it does so before calling ehci_work() instead 
of after calling ehci_halt()?

Mark, if you want to experiment some more, try reverting your patch 
above and moving:

	if (ehci->reclaim)
		end_unlink_async(ehci);

in ehci-hub.c:ehci_bus_suspend() to just after the line saying:

	hcd->state = HC_STATE_SUSPENDED;
