I'll have a look. But given that I do isochronous, it sounds like the patch
in that thread won't work? (As I read the discussion there, at least. I don't
know enough xHCI details to understand exactly why a memory mapping is
needed for isochronous but not for bulk transfers.)

There's always the other patch set that was pointed to
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=138046339714340&w=2), which sounds more
promising.

As an aside, my data is eventually going over in GPU memory, so there's bound
to be even more copies. However, given the amount of data and the limited
amount of memory bandwidth in my system, the fewer I can have, the better.
