I did see this a lot when connecting USB drives. I'll re-test next week
and provide more details. I do have some concern because I also saw
transfers with URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP set but transfer_buffer was
not DMA aligned. However, it may well be that the provided DMA buffer
_was_ aligned in that situation. I'll re-test that and let you know.

Thanks,
