Hi Kohji,

I see your points. By doing this you save some memory in the descriptor 
layout for 8K page size - right?

BTW: Do you think the following check is OK, or should it be extended to 
check also for 8K?

         if (!(XREAD4(sc, oper, XHCI_PAGESIZE) & XHCI_PAGESIZE_4K)) {
                 device_printf(sc->sc_bus.parent, "Controller does "
                     "not support 4K page size.\n");
                 return (USB_ERR_IOERROR);
         }

I guess your patch is more in the direction of optimisation. Is it very 
urgent? Or is it fine if I handle it the beginning of January?

Thank you for your input and review!
