PARAMETERS
       For 
usb_alloc_ctrl_req(), 
usb_alloc_bulk_req() and       
usb_alloc_intr_req():       
dip                Pointer to the device's dev_info structure.       
len                Length of 
data for this request.       
flags                Only USB_FLAGS_SLEEP is recognized. Wait for resources if
                not immediately available.
       For 
usb_alloc_isoc_req():       
dip                          Pointer to the device's dev_info structure.       
isoc_pkts_count                          Number of isochronous packet descriptors to
                          associate with this request. Must be greater than
                          zero.       
len                          Length of 
data for this isochronous request.       
flags                          Only USB_FLAGS_SLEEP is recognized. Wait for
                          resources if not immediately available.
       For 
usb_free_ctrl_req(), 
usb_free_bulk_req(), 
usb_free_intr_req() and       
usb_free_isoc_req():       
request                  Pointer to the request structure to be freed. Can be 
NULL.
DESCRIPTION
       The 
usb_alloc_ctrl_req(), 
usb_alloc_bulk_req(), 
usb_alloc_intr_req(),
       and 
usb_alloc_isoc_req() functions allocate control, bulk, interrupt,
       or     isochronous requests. Optionally, these functions can also
       allocate an mblk of the specified length to pass data associated
       with the request. (For guidelines on mblk data allocation, see the
       manpage for the relevant transfer function).
       The 
usb_alloc_isoc_req() function also allocates a number of
       isochronous packet descriptors (usb_isoc_pkt_descr_t) specified by
       isoc_pkts_count to the end of the request proper (usb_isoc_req_t).
       See 
usb_isoc_request(9S) for more information on isochronous packet
       descriptors.
       These functions always succeed when the USB_FLAGS_SLEEP flag is set,
       provided that they are given valid args and are not called from
       interrupt context.
       The 
usb_free_ctrl_req(), 
usb_free_bulk_req(), 
usb_free_intr_req(),
       and 
usb_free_isoc_req() functions free their corresponding request.
       If the request's data block pointer is non-zero, the data block is
       also freed. For isoc requests, the array of packet descriptors is
       freed.
RETURN VALUES
       For 
usb_alloc_ctrl_req(), 
usb_alloc_bulk_req(), 
usb_alloc_intr_req()       and 
usb_alloc_isoc_req():
       On success: returns a pointer to the appropriate usb_xxx_request_t.
       On failure: returns 
NULL. Fails because the dip argument is invalid,
       USB_FLAGS_SLEEP is not set and memory is not available or because
       USB_FLAGS_SLEEP is set but the call was made in interrupt context.
       For 
usb_free_ctrl_req(), 
usb_free_bulk_req(), 
usb_free_intr_req() and       
usb_free_isoc_req(): None.
CONTEXT
       The allocation routines can always be called from kernel and user
       context. They may be called from interrupt context only if
       USB_FLAGS_SLEEP is not specified.
       The free routines may be called from kernel, user, and interrupt
       context.
EXAMPLES
             /* This allocates and initializes an asynchronous control
              * request which will pass no data.  Asynchronous requests
              * are used when they cannot block the calling thread.
              */

                     return (FAILURE);
