Can you please pull this branch, which contains a 3.13 kernel with
David's patch reverted, and test whether your USB ethernet device works
or fails?

Fails.  dmesg log attached.

It's funny, because there's certainly data transferred over endpoint
0x82, even though there were link TRBs in the middle of transfers.  Did
the "untransferred" messages stop when the device stopped working, or
did they continue?

All I do is something akin to this:

   mount /server/ /x
   mount --bind / /t
   mirrordir -v --strict-mtimes /t /x/backups/empress

"mirrordir" is similar to "rsync", but less cryptic.
The sequence above maintains a clone of the root filesystem
of my ultrabook ("empress") on an NFS server over GigE.

Please send me the output of `sudo lsusb -t`  and `sudo lsusb -v` with
the USB device attached.  I'd like to know whether you and David have
the same device and driver.  Perhaps the link TRB issue only impacts
that device, and we can limit scatter-gather under xHCI for that device.
If not, we'll have to look at bigger fixes.
