This doesn't need to be stored as one of the usb-storage flags.  And
since we are close to running out of flag bits (on 32-bit
architectures), it would be better not to use one of them for this.

The test above can be rewritten as:

	if (us->pusb_dev->speed >= USB_SPEED_SUPER)

Since it gets used in only this one place and it's not on a hot path, 
this is how it should be done
