Interesting, I know that interrupt and bulk endpoints share a lot of
common logic so I can see how this should work. But is it really
possible [and more to the point: sane?!] to override the endpoint
descriptors?
I know that usb_submit_urb checks [when config_usb_debug is enabled]
if the xfertype of the submitted urb matches the one of the endpoint,
so I wonder I started to wonder if we are fooling "just" the code
here, or ourselves in the process?

Huh, has this already catched on?
