Chains off the device descriptor request via a new deferred-action mechanism on xhci_dev_t (next_action/next_action_slot_id/next_action_length): a short 9-byte Configuration descriptor read learns wTotalLength, then a full read retrieves Config+Interface+Endpoint descriptors, walked for the Interface descriptor to confirm bInterfaceClass/SubClass/Protocol == Mass Storage/ SCSI/Bulk-Only Transport. The deferral exists because ringing the next doorbell synchronously inside xhci_poll_events()'s event-processing loop -- before the current event's ERDP write -- hung the guest outright (confirmed live via checkpoint logging, amd64). Fixed by moving the actual control-transfer submission to a small dispatch at the end of xhci_poll_events(), after ERDP is updated. A debug hack that shipped mid-session (forcing a repeated 9-byte read instead of chaining into the real 44-byte length, to isolate whether the hang was doorbell-ordering or length-specific) has been reverted: restored the real length and re-verified live. The doorbell-ordering fix was the whole story -- the 44-byte read completes cleanly. Verified live via QMP hotplug, all three architectures, byte-identical results: wTotalLength=0x2c, bInterfaceClass=0x08, bInterfaceSubClass=0x06, bInterfaceProtocol=0x50 -- confirmed Mass Storage/SCSI/BOT. Disconnect confirmed clean on every arch, no wedge. FABRIC-2.md Section X Milestone 2f updated with the full writeup.
