This was my understanding too, but for instance the blazer_usb (and  
megatec_usb) also fragment transfers in 8-byte chunks themselves. A  
while back we tried to query for larger chunks, but this wasn't  
reliable at all.

It looks like we can't trust that the kernel will do this for us, so I  
guess it would be better to do this in the libusb.c module. If memory  
serves, it would be possible to get wMaxPacketSize somehow from the  
device handle.
