This has got a couple of problems.

Firstly, for control URBs it doesn't check urb->setup_packet, which 
should always be initialized regardless of the direction because it 
always gets sent to the device.

Secondly, some URBs use scatter-gather transfers, and they don't always
store the buffer address in urb->transfer_buffer (indeed, sometimes the
buffer is located outside of the kernel's address map).  Instead they
use urb->sg and urb->num_sgs.  To get an idea for how it all works,
look at usb_hcd_map_urb_for_dma()  in hcd.c.

Thirdly, the information we get back from the device doesn't always 
cover the entire transfer buffer; sometimes the device sends less data 
than we asked for.  Perhaps you don't care very much about this case.
