I thought about this some more last night and changed my mind.  Real 
UDC drivers won't erase the max_stream information when they connect at 
high speed, because it's always possible for them to reconnect later at 
SuperSpeed.  Therefore dummy-hcd shouldn't erase the information 
either.

dummy is a little unusual; it knows from the start the speed at which
it will operate.  Of course, real UDC drivers don't know this.

dummy is never unconnected.  At least, not in the usual sense -- it's
like a device that sometimes turns off its pullup resistors, but whose
cable never gets unplugged.

That's more or less true.  So go ahead, take out the code.
