Have you seen
https://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=156758511218419&w=2
? It certainly is relevant, although Greg hasn't replied to it.
There have been other messages on the mailing list about this issue,
but I haven't tried to keep track of them.
Also, just warning about a non-page-aligned allocation doesn't really
help. It would be better to fix the misbehaving allocator.
