I took a look and this is what I see:

It looks like there are quite a few devices on irq 55 even before I load
my module. Is it at all possible that I could get my device to use a
different interrupt line? or is this totally restricted by hardware?
Also what does the "ERR" mean? Does this keep a tally of errors? If so
does 99K errors seem high?

My device does, yes. At this point I have to assume the USB driver is
too. But even if that was the problem, it wouldn't explain why the error
also happens when I don't request the interrupt at all.
Thanks,
