I think EHCI has a tendency to drop transactions. I got umass really
confused a few weeks back by attaching one usb key to ehci and a low key
to uhci and trying to do stuff on both keys at once.  The transaction
sequence #s got off-by-one and never recovered (due to a bug in umass),
but the txn shouldn't have disappeared in the first place.
