This is probably more relevant/interesting to the people on linux-usb.
Since we were trying to get this driver into staging, we thought linux-kernel
was the right place to send the patches. We can send the next set out to
linux-usb as well.

That discussion hasn't happened. usbip has a different protocol than MA USB,
so much of the code cannot be reused.

I just briefly looked into the userspace code for usbip. It looks like the
userspace compatibility layer is just a utility for establishing the TCP
connection between the host and device & choosing what devices to connect,
correct? We have a similar utility (see patch 9/10) which could probably
be replaced by the usbip userspace utilities.
