If not, it certainly ought to get into 8.1-RELEASE and 7.3-RELEASE...
so long as it doesn't cause the USB stack to freeze up. 16 KB is a
much more reasonable buffer size.

By the way, I've done some stress testing with the patch I posted, and
it seems very solid. It appears that the AX88772A chip can safely be
treated like an AX88772.
