It might be safer to make this happen only in host mode, not in target mode - while the performance improvement will apply for both target mode has no control over the clocking of data by the host so is much more vulnerable to dropping data in a threaded interrupt if the system is loaded. In host mode this isn't an issue since we'll simply stop clocking data while waiting for the scheduler to get round to the interrupt thread.
