Interesting. I hacked libusb to get the fd. Then I did USBDEVFS_ALLOC_MEMORY,
which succeeded (well, as soon as I filled mem.size before calling),
then mmap on it as described (which also succeeded), and everything _works_,
but I don't think it's actually using zerocopy, because I still see
copy_user_enhanced_fast_string() using a lot of CPU
(with libusb_handle_events() in the call stack).

I guess I should either add some debug printks or else see if there's
anything in the snooping that can help me track it down.
