I'm busy giving a netfilter tutorial all day, but I'll do the incremental patch + testing tonight. So I expect some kind of reply on this at about 11pm (GMT+1).
Sorry once again for the delays, but as I said initially: I'm neither a core kernel / scheduler nor a USB developer. If somebody else had taken the bug, we'd have had way less round-trips...
