Maybe, but it will trigger all other USB drivers around and really
weird things might happen.. Oh well, I may give it a try one of
these days anyway. I could probably even do some hack to force the
OHCI to only service incoming interrupt URBs for input devices or
such things...

But it feels very fragile... Oh well, I will experiment with that one of
these days (no time right now though).
