I don't particularly like trailing buffers, but I agree we could
possibly organize this a little better by with a struct.  something
like:

struct msft_vnd_ext {
    bool              supported; // <-- Clearly calls out if the
extension is supported.
    __u16           msft_vnd_ext_opcode; // <-- Note that this also
needs to be provided by the driver.  I don't recommend we have this
read from the hardware since we just cause an extra redirection that
isn't necessary.  Ideally, this should come from the usb_table const.
    __u64           msft_vnd_ext_features;
    __u8             msft_vnd_ext_evt_prefix_len;
    void             *msft_vnd_ext_evt_prefix;
};

And then simply add the struct msft_vnd_ext (and any others) to hci_dev.
