sure it does. If you're bypassing anything in usbcore, it's wrong :-)
For that [ab]_bus_req polling, as soon as you notice that flag, you
should just giveback all URBs to the link partner so the link can
autosuspend and HNP will happen exactly the same.

When you echo 0 to a_bus_req, A should stop all in-flight transfers to
the link partner and wait for the bus to autosuspend. There should be no
differences other than the need to set these flags.

This even gives us opportunity to tune "how fast" we wand HNP to happen
by fiddling with autosuspend delay ;-)
