Immediate data transfers (IDT) allow the HCD to copy small chunks of

most URBs submissions.
In the case an URB was suitable for IDT. The data is directly copied
into the "Data Buffer Pointer" region of the TRB and the IDT flag is
set. Instead of triggering memory accesses the HC will use the data
directly.
The implementation could cover all kind of output endpoints. Yet
Isochronous endpoints are bypassed as I was unable to find one that
matched IDT's constraints. As we try to bypass the default DMA mappings
on URB buffers we'd need to find a Isochronous device with an
urb->transfer_buffer_length <= 8 bytes.
The implementation takes into account that the 8 byte buffers provided
by the URB will never cross a 64KB boundary.

Friendly ping, any more comments on this? :)
Looks good, adding to queue, thanks
