Most likely, its just anecdotal, but when driver hand-off is disabled
Ubuntu install proceeds without stalling. Boot-up functions more
smoothly. Don't know why this is. According to BIOS remarks on the
EHCI hand-off, it(BIOS) should detect whether or not BIOS driver
hand-off is necessary or not when enabled. Since Windows doesn't care
either way, neither do I.

I'm closing this bug. Looks like EHCI handoff is for kernel debugging over usb 2.0.
