Correct; this piece just adds the infrastructure that lets you then layer
the standard USB host code on top. I'm assuming I'll push both the tilegx
USB infrastructure, and the drivers/usb/host stuff, through the tile tree.
Or, I can push just the low-level stuff through the tile tree and let the
USB host stuff go through the usb tree.
