You seem to have an HX device, whereas mine is an HXD (rev D) with
bcdDevice 4.00. That could account for the different behaviour of the
GPIO state/value register.

How did you figure out which registers to use? Were you sniffing the
traffic of some driver for some other OS? And does your device only have
two GPIOs and not four like the HX rev D?

The memory where the stack resides might not be available for DMA, and
even if it is, there could still be problems with cache coherency.
