You are aware that I've worked on qemu's USB emulation for 3 years full-time,
including things like making the ehci emulation Windows XP compatible and
many other hcd emulation fixes?

And Alan Stern's credentials speak for themselves.

Comments like this do not really help to get your own comments taken serious.

Your opinion has been noted, but so far your entire objection seems to be
you not liking the name and now calling it stupid, while there have been
actually *technical* arguments against the other prefixes.

This is not about being in a hurry, this is about not wanting to waste
time on what is quickly turning into pure bike-shedding.

If you're suggestion that the mmio- prefix will cause breakage later now
is your time to actually make an actual technical argument. "just plain
stupid" does not help to get your comments taken serious.
