Subject: [PATCH] usb bulk transfer: 1024 byte packets

Hello,

I recently ran into a couple of USB devices which insisted on using 1024 
byte packets in bulk transfer mode (despite the hard limit of 512 
established in the spec). I really wanted to use these devices, so I 
created a kernel patch which allows the use of 1024 byte URBs, but does 
not interfere with normal (512 byte) operation. I did this through a 
bit in the transfer_flags bitfield. 

I found this patch useful and un-obtrusive, so I figured that I would 
post it here to see if anyone else thinks it interesting enough to 
patch in. 

I am not subscribed to the list, and would appreciate a personal CC on 
reply :-).

	-Jeremy
