I still see

/* some USB hosts just use PIO */
if (!hcd_uses_dma(hcd)) {
*dma = ~(dma_addr_t) 0;
return kmalloc(size, mem_flags);
}

in linux-next's hcd_buffer_alloc and also in usb.git's usb-next branch.
I also see the same

if (remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start,
virt_to_phys(usbm->mem) >> PAGE_SHIFT,
size, vma->vm_page_prot) < 0) {
...
}

in usbdev_mmap. Of course it's possible that I'm looking at the wrong
branch, or just being dense.
