Investigated further and found that "memcpy" is needed to configure Usb 
version, vendor id, prod Id ..etc
of the device. Its also useful to hook actual device driver and detect 
no. of configuration supported.

I strongly feel we could avoid "memcpy" by making global device desc in 
usb.h Line:112, cache align as done in
scsi.h,Line:30 in this patch and this is accepted also?
