The usb_send_bulk() function is called in both 32bit mode and 16bit
mode.  The ASSERT32FLAT() macro is a compile-time check that verifies
the given code is only ever called in 32bit mode.  So, stopping the
compile is exactly what it is supposed to do.

One can't call malloc from 16bit mode (or indeed any time after the
"post" phase completes).  That's why the existing bulk transfer code
has all the weird stack allocation stuff.
