+ * The reason to use interrupt transfers through this API would most likely
+ * be to reserve high speed bandwidth, where up to 24 KBytes per millisecond
+ * could be transferred.  That capability is less useful for low or full
+ * speed interrupt endpoints, which allow at most one packet per millisecond,
