Subject: Re: 2.6.33 bugs (USBFS, Intel graphic)

This patch (as1352) fixes a bug in the way isochronous input data is
returned to userspace for usbfs transfers.  The entire buffer must be
copied, not just the first actual_length bytes, because the individual
packets will be discontiguous if any of them are short.
