Please be careful when setting this up. The mode-sense pages are vitally important for USB CD devices, and they all seem to work fine. It's just the disk-type devices that have been causing trouble. Many of them seem to share the failure mode observed by Linus: when asked to send 128 bytes of m-s page 8 they apparently forget that the connection is only full-speed with a 64-byte packet maximum, and they try to send all 128 bytes in a single packet. But other failure modes have cropped up as well.
