Hi,

libusb has only one copy to/from userspace. libusb v1.0 and v0.1 has 
some allocation during operation, while libusb v2.0 API doesn't.

There was an optimisation done recently about IOCTLs allocating memory 
for the data argument. Maybe that is what is causing the problem you saw?

Refer to SYS_IOCTL_SMALL_SIZE in sys/kern/ .
