Fortunately, USB mass storage devices are highly standardized.  One of
the things they got right.

Now, the USB keyboard protocol...ugh, they really dropped the ball on
that one.  It's standardized, which is good, but it's a polling
interface and tends to occasionally lose events under high CPU load,
which is bad.  Especially if it's a key-up event that gets lost.
