(because the data has to be bounced to/from a contiguous kernel-space
buffer), it's not the kernel's job to enforce such limits.  Programs
should be allowed to submit URBs as large as they like; if there isn't
sufficient contiguous memory available then the submission will fail
with a simple ENOMEM error.

On the other hand, we would like to prevent programs from submitting a
lot of small URBs and using up all the DMA-able kernel memory.  To
that end, this patch (as1497) replaces the old limits on individual
transfer buffers with a single global limit on the total amount of
memory in use by usbfs.  The global limit is set to 16 MB as a nice
compromise value: not too big, but large enough to hold about 300 ms
of data for high-speed transfers.
