Nice.  But don't you think this deserves the attention of the linux-usb
mailing list?  Yes, Greg's attention is of course good to have too :-)
But  I believe this is of interest to more people, who might not read
everything on linux-kernel.

Has there been any thought/discussion about the relationship to the
existing usbip drivers, which just moved out of staging? Is a usbip
userspace compatibility layer feasible sometime in the future?
