The ohci hardware requires that scatter-gather boundaries occur on USB message boundaries.
The xhi hardware doesn't have that constraint, but has the different constraints:
1) A buffer must not cross a 64k address boundary.
2) A LINK TRB (at the end of the ring) must only occur at a USB message boundary
(actually it is a slightly tighter constraint).
In combination those two are a PITA.
