My "usbdevfs interface ioctls" patch (update coming later)
gives a framework that can be used to address such issues.

For example, if the hid driver cooperated with you, it
could probably find a way to let you send control messages
at safe points ... say, if your messages were in ioctls
sent through the hid driver.

Or there could be requests to drivers (or devices?) asking
to change driver bindings for a particular interface.
