usb_hcd_giveback_urb() kernel doc says:
| * Context: atomic. The completion callback is invoked either in a work queue
| * (BH) context or in the caller's context, depending on whether the HCD_BH
| * flag is set in the @hcd structure, except that URBs submitted to the
| * root hub always complete in BH context.
Do you think this deserves an update?
