I also updated the wiki USB page:

It currently says
For linux kernel version less then 2.6.21 the usb data is provided by
the means of a 'text' API, which limit the storage for captured data to
32 bytes. This kind of API requires debugfs to be mounted in
/sys/kernel/debug in order to be functional. Recenlty a new 'binary' API
as been added to the linux kernel, removing any restriction on the
amount of capturable data for each URB. This new API should be available
in the linux kernel starting from version 2.6.21 or 2.6.22.
but kernel.org only has 2.6.19 as the current version and 2.6.20 as the
upcoming version. Should it just speak of a future kernel release,
without committing to a number, until the new mechanism shows up in a
prepatch? Also, is a patch with the new binary API available somewhere?
