Not sure if I got you.

Do you suggest I update hc_sl811.c from usb-2.5 to usb-2.5?  Would't this 
require that I backport lot's of other stuff, e.g. all in drivers/usb/core?

I am ok with silly driver stuff, but I am very rookie when it comes to Linux' 
VM subsystem, e.g. comments like

 * @transfer_dma: When transfer_flags includes URB_NO_DMA_MAP, the device
 *      driver is saying that it provided this DMA address, which the host
 *      controller driver should use instead of the transfer_buffer.

    (from usb-2.5 include/linux/usb.h)

are not easily understood by me (if something has no dma, how can it provide 
an DMA address?).
