in ep_queue driver starts dma transfer from/to IP buffer to/from req->buf.
If transfer is completed then request is not added to ep request queue
and returns from ep_queue.
If transfer is not completed (actual < length) then request is added
to queue and returns from ep_queue.
when buffer processed interrupt occurs, handler starts dma if there is
request in queue and calls complete call back (when actual == length)
Hence answer is Yes for some transfers (start dma called from
interrupt handler not from ep_queue).
