Okay, so when we're configuring the endpoints, we could route endpoint
interrupts to different event buffers. I really think that's really
unimportant for us, specially since we end up using a single IRQ line.

I guess I'll just go ahead and remove that code. If it turns out we
decide to use it, we shouldn't really be using a loop in the hardirq
handler anyway.
