URB setup packet must not be allocated as part of larger structure
because DMA coherence issues.

Patch changes catc to allocate ctrl_dr member as separate buffer.

Patch is only compile tested.

I absolutely do not agree with your adding the stable CC: tag for
a patch which has only been compile tested.

This applies to all of your other patches you submitted in this
cluster too.

Agreed, this was not brightest of ideas. I won't do it again.
