Boot stops with ehci-pci, kernel 4.3.0

Hello,

I am facing an strange issue. I am unable to boot a Dell PowerEdge R210 if ehci-pci module is built into the kernel. The _ marker just blinks, after few minutes nothing has changed. The last messages it does display that I can get thru iDRAC is:

ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller
ehci-pci: EHCI PCI platform driver
ehci-pci 0000:00:1a.0: EHCI Host Controller
ehci-pci 0000:00:1a.0: new USB bus registred, assigned bust number 1
ehci-pci 0000:00:1a.0: debug port 2
ehci-pci 0000:00:1a.0: irq 22, io mem 0xdf0fa0

if I disable the USB support, the kernel does boots just fine. Booting Ubuntu 14.04's kernel 3.13.0-24-generic does not seems to suffer from this very problem.

The lspci -vvv for ehci-pci (from ubuntu 14.04 rescue image):

For the test purpose I've created a bare-minimal kernel with `make allnoconfig`. Not even filesystem has been included, and it still fails the same way.

I'd appreciate any help on resolving this very issue.
