The test above should be transfer_dma != ~0, not transfer_dma != 0,
since ~0 means the DMA address isn't set.  In fact I forgot to 
include the PIO case; it should be handled by changing the remaining 
tests as follows:

	Otherwise if hcd->self.uses_dma is set then
		If this URB doesn't require PIO then call dma_map_single
	Otherwise if HCD_LOCAL_MEM is set then call hcd_alloc_coherent
	Otherwise do nothing (PIO case).

Currently "this URB doesn't require PIO" is always true, but in the 
future it won't be.

No, it should be set to ~0, the same as when buffers are allocated for 
a PIO-based controller.
