I did some quick review on this. One of the routines I had heard fails
on 2.6.27 is usb_poison_anchored_urbs. This was added via 6a2839b.
This just adds the routine, the users are the drivers themselves. To
poison a URB it makes use of the extends the struct usb_anchor, so
directly porting it doesn't seem to make sense. Best bet seems to be
just backporting to not poison and do a replacement call.

Fun enough ar9170 is currently the only driver using this.

Hm, not sure if a no-op would do it.
