    This allows userspace to use bulk-streams, just like in kernel drivers, see
    Documentation/usb/bulk-streams.txt for details on the in kernel API. This
    is exported pretty much one on one to userspace.
    
    To use streams an app must first make a USBDEVFS_ALLOC_STREAMS ioctl,
    on success this will return the number of streams available (which may be
    less then requested). If there are n streams the app can then submit
    usbdevfs_urb-s with their stream_id member set to 1-n to use a specific
    stream. IE if USBDEVFS_ALLOC_STREAMS returns 4 then stream_id 1-4 can be
    used.
    
    When the app is done using streams it should call USBDEVFS_FREE_STREAMS
    
    Note applications are advised to use libusb rather then using the
    usbdevfs api directly. The latest version of libusb has support for streams.
