Sure, if you have enough of a urb available, ultimately you get all the
printk's.

If I want to printk from the nmi_watchdog out to this device, am I going
to get anything if the write is not synchronous, because in theory the
hcd device is never going to get accessed again?

Ideally I want to make sure that somehow I get my debug output out to
the console, even if it means we do some polling after the oops state is
set.

Jason.
