God, that code is truly ugly :-(

It starts off bad with all those 'u16' parameters - they'll require a
mask operation somewhere.

Then we have the classic:
	wIndex = ((__u8)(wIndex & 0xff));
Some compilers have been known to and with 0xff twice for code like that.
Since the target is u16 there could be a 3rd mask with 0xffff on non-x86.

I like to put a blank line before 'case' lines - the only ones in that
function are in the middle of nested case blocks!

If you have to rely on the usbip_dbg_vhci_rh() debug lines you'll
wish they contained more context!
vhci_hub_control() has one early on; the rest could be killed -
they contain no more information.
