USB: ehci tolerates some buggy devices

This teaches EHCI how to to work around bugs in certain high speed
devices, by accomodating "bulk" packets that exceed the 512 byte
constant value required by the USB 2.0 specification.  (Have a
look at section 5.8.3, paragraphs 1 and 3.)

It also makes the descriptor parsing code warn when it encounters
such bugs.  (We've had reports of maybe two or three such devices,
all pretty recent.)

Such devices are nonconformant.  The proper fix is have the vendors
of those devices do the simple, obvious, and correct thing ... which
will let them be used with USB hosts that don't have workarounds for
this particular vendor bug.  But unless/until they do, we can at least
have one of the high speed HCDs work with such buggy devices.
