I've just found one. I noticed that USB controller here uses IRQ10
and shares it with NIC and FireWire. This system does not support IO-APIC.
I've disabled ACPI and NIC has moved to another IRQ,
USB and FireWire still share one IRQ but now there are no stalled transfers.
I get stable 16.2 megabyte/s writing speed to USB HDD.

Now I wonder if there is another way to assign distinct IRQ for USB,
BIOS Setup does not help.
