And you won't be able to convert to the usb_sg_*() routines
without updating all the HCDs and usbcore to handle the
related clean semantics for URB completion and queueing.

The scope of those changes is the reason I described the
performance limitation as intrinsic to the 2.4 USB stack,
and not amenable to fixing.
