Yes. See the OHCI spec:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/supportinformation/papers/hcir1_0a.pdf
and specifically section 4.3: the data buffer described by a
TD may span two separate physically disjoint pages. The exact
page crossing behaviour is described more specifically in
section 4.3.1.3.1. (We don't implement it quite as described
there because we try to handle the whole data buffer at once
rather than byte-by-byte, but the effect is the same. See
also the code later on in the function under 'Transmission
succeeded' which updates td.cbp to the right value if we only
managed to send part of the data.)
