The completion handler is currently called with local interrupts
disabled but that is about to change once all drivers have been updated: 

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=137353360511003&w=2

In this case you could probably get away with not disabling interrupts
anyway, but using the irqsave versions would make it obvious.

Brain fart, nevermind.
