This first proposed patch for solving the isochronous stream problem
adds a mechanism for seeing whether or not an URB is currently being
given back for a particular endpoint.
The mechanism isn't perfect. It doesn't use any synchronization, so
it's possible that a CPU may think a giveback is still in progress even
after it has finished. This shouldn't matter. If an isochronous queue
empties out and then the driver starts a new stream within a few
milliseconds -- quickly enough that the change to giveback_in_progress
hasn't propagated to all the CPUs -- there won't be any harm in
scheduling the new stream as a continuation of the old one.
