If you haven't already done so, you should check all the other places where usbcore uses is_usb_device(). They are likely to get confused if endpoint thingies start showing up. For example, we don't want to allow drivers to bind to endpoints (not yet). In fact, you might want to add a usb_endpoint_type, in addition to usb_device_type and usb_interface_type.
