Ah, I had things slightly misconfigured (accidentally deauthorised the
hub itself, so unsurprising that children wouldn't show up) - you do
get an event for the device itself, but you still have no means of
identifying how the endpoints will show up without parsing the binary
descriptors and then hoping that you have the same heuristics as the
kernel.
