Oh, and just for a note, USB is *not* like writing another type of driver. The entire USB framework is a scary beast all of its own, and sadly it also uses & abuses STREAMs. Implementing a modern USB3 stack should really be done by creating a new nexus framework, and converting some of the leaf drivers to it. Our entire USB framework really needs some serious lovin’. But again, its just a problem finding priority and skills in confluence.
