Other people have mentioned usbmon as the way to monitor a USB stream.
But this doesn't answer your questio about stacking USB drivers.  In 
fact, I don't fully understand that question.

When one stacks filesystem drivers, this generally means using a file 
in one filesystem as the block storage for a different filesystem, 
right?  So the analog with USB devices would be to use one USB device 
as the host for controlling other USB devices.  Is that what you meant?
