The patch looks almost you moved usb_process.c code into taskqueue(9)
that I means it still follows that a entry which enqueued at last should
be executed at last.  It seems that at least it's not a general for
taskqueue(9).   In my humble opinion it looks a trick.  I think it'd
better to find a general solution to solve it though I used sx(9) lock
in my patches.
