No problem, as long as we get it into the next release. ;-)

No, because the first blk need to be aligned with the 4096. In worst 
case the blk is at the end of the 4096 range. If we assume that the blk 
is aligned to blk_sz we can change it to ((4096 * 4) / dev_desc->blk_sz) 
+ 1. I skip the last blk (+ 1) because with 4096 aligned first blk we 
unaligned the next transfer and add extra short packages to each ehci 
transfer.

If we want to maximise the usage we need to calculate the max_xfer_blk 
depending on the start address of the first blk.
