Ought to be fine, so long as the controller does DMA right,
unless the UHCI spec demands otherwise.

Most of the host controllers only demand alignment for their
control infrastructure (QH, TD/ED, etc) so far as I've seen.
I think the expectation is that device drivers are better off
 not having to copy transfer buffers to force alighment.
