Hmm, I'd tend to fix it the other way around:  Fix usb-net to deal with
transfers larger than the endpoint packet size.  What do you think?

Honouring maximum packet size is mandated by the OHCI spec:
see section 4.3.1.3.2 "Packet Size" in OHCI specification 1.0a.
Our failure to do it is just a bug in our controller model.

No. What I think is that USBPacket shouldn't be required to be an actual USB packet, but a transfer, i.e. do the splitting of larger transfers into smaller packets in the usb driver emulation (if needed), not the host adapter emulation.

Maybe it is a good idea to rename USBPacket to USBTransfer to make that clear.

Also add usb 2.0 support while being at it.
But that is another story ...
