-	 * USB has unusual DMA-alignment requirements: Although the

-	 * express this by block-layer constraints, so we'll cop out
-	 * and simply require addresses to be aligned at 512-byte
-	 * boundaries.  This is okay since most block I/O involves
-	 * hardware sectors that are multiples of 512 bytes in length,
-	 * and since host controllers up through USB 2.0 have maxpacket
-	 * values no larger than 512.
+	 * We have two requirements here. We must satisfy the requirements
+	 * of the physical HC and the demands of the protocol, as we
+	 * definitely want no additional memory allocation in this path
+	 * ruling out using bounce buffers.
 	 *
-	 * But it doesn't suffice for Wireless USB, where Bulk maxpacket
-	 * values can be as large as 2048.  To make that work properly
-	 * will require changes to the block layer.
+	 * For a transmission on USB to continue we must never send
+	 * a package that is smaller than maxpacket. Hence the length of each
+         * scatterlist element except the last must be divisible by the
+         * Bulk maxpacket value.
+	 * If the HC does not ensure that through SG,
+	 * the upper layer must do that. We must assume nothing
+	 * about the capabilities off the HC, so we use the most
+	 * pessimistic requirement.
