With these patches we only collect coverage from hub_event threads,
and we need one ID per USB bus, the number of which is quite limited.
But then we might want to collect coverage from other parts of the USB
subsystem, so we might need more IDs. I don't expect the number of
different subsystem from which we want to collect coverage to be
large, so the idea here is to use 2 bytes of an ID to denote the
subsystem, and the other 6 to denote different coverage collection
sections within it.

But overall, which encoding scheme to use here is a good question.
Ideas are welcome.

A userspace process that wants to collect coverage from USB bus # N
needs to pass kcov_remote_handle_usb(N) into KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl.
