udev is not a usb_device structure; it is a _pointer_ to a usb_device 
structure.  The pointer is created when ehset_single_step_set_feature() 
calls usb_hub_find_child(), but the structure itself gets created long 
before that, when the USB device is first detected and initialized.

You can see this happening where hub_port_connect() calls 
usb_alloc_dev().  The ep0 field is filled in by hub_port_init() and the 
routines it calls.
