Hi,

This is to be able to setup double-buffering of USB transfers.

Do do this correctly for a BULK endpoint, allocate two USB transfers, 
and then subdivide these two using the FreeBSD USB frames feature.

Divide 1x USB transfers into 32x frames which then equals 32 transfers 
in one completion event. Linux/MacOS/Windows doesn't have this feature 
and instead they allow setting up a bunch of wMaxPacketSize sized jobs 
which then in turn generate an enormous completion event traffic, which 
is not very intelligent.
