9.0-RC3 umass quirks?

I have a USB compact flash reader-writer which is normally connected to
my computer all the time but rarely contains a compact flash card.  Here
is a snippet from a verbose dmesg with FreeBSD 9.0-RC3:

Everything works normally, but the above events take about half a
minute and bring the booting-up procedure to a halt while the
retries finish.  Is there a umass quirk I could enable to speed up
whatever is happening here?  usbconfig -d 0.5 dump_device_desc says:
