This last part seems awkward.  Why not have the function driver call
usb_ep_set_halt() to indicate ep0 should send a STALL?  That's already 
part of the API; no need to add another way of doing the same thing.

This signature is incomplete.  You also need to know the status of the 
request that was just given back...

... because none of this should happen if the previous request
completed unsuccessfully.
