Okay, I've been looking into this for a while, and having a hard time 
wrapping my head around the code. Additionally someone (Al) from the 
linux-usb-devel list took an interest and has been helping me as well.

It turns out the code DOES do polling. We cannot, for the life of us, 
figure out why the sleep is needed.

We've tried a variety of things (including decreasing the buffer size 
int he pl2303 driver), but no matter what we do, I need that sleep() 
call in there to sync my phone. I've dropped it to a sleep(5) (haven't 
tried smaller yet), in order to sync my phone.

Any thoughts? I'm happy to try patches, or provide debugging info.
