Hmm, I can see the benefit of this call to avoid polling.

OTOH I don't see how to find the packages already processed via this
mechanism. To help in my case I'd need:

- the call being made in the else clause
- some way to have a package reference in the endpoint (assuming
   to use the bus .endpoint_wakeup callback which is called by
   usb_wakeup(), too).
   The problem here is that host-libusb.c would call usb_wakeup()
   not for each packet, but for each libusb I/O, which is combining
   multiple packets given to usb_handle_packet().
