We can trust is_b_host as Alan suggests, yes.

But I'm not entirely sure this patch is correct.  Does this affect
some of the OTG conformance tests?  I've certainly observed HNP
to proceed through b_host enumerating an a_peripheral (after the
role switch) with the current code.

Of course, the fact that I've seen it work *could* be caused by
bugs in the drivers I was working with.

And there are three other events that can trigger transitions from
B_HOST ... all of those are hardware signals though.  Two of them
can cause B_IDLE transitions.
