let's wait until your patch moving the list_head to the public part is
accepted.

It can go in later.

Zero urbs and buffers used to work fine - I used them for testing some
failure modes (I can't remember what exactly).  With the current setup
zero urbs is fine, but zero length buffers look problematic.  I put
in upper limits so (1) I'd never have to think about overflow when doing
arithmetic and (2) so users would have an idea as to what values are
worth trying.  I've committed a patch for the lower bound.
