As far as I can see, this isn't possible.  The usb_parse_endpoint()  
routine in drivers/usb/core/config.c is supposed to guarantee that
ep->desc.bInterval is never 0.

More information from Vittorio would be helpful.  For example, what 
shows up in /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices (after mounting a debugfs 
filesystem on /sys/kernel/debug)?
