My N9310A is now totally wedged.  Anything I can think of doing (send
queries, send *RST, or any of the CLEAR ioctls) fails and spews stuff
like this:

[360946.881771] usbtmc 3-1:1.0: Unable to send data, error -110
[360946.890770] usbtmc 3-1:1.0: usb_bulk_msg returned -110
[360965.303400] usb 3-1: usb_control_msg returned -110
[360965.312404] usb 3-1: usb_control_msg returned -110
[361052.364626] usbtmc 3-1:1.0: usb_bulk_msg returned -110
[361055.114579] usbtmc 3-1:1.0: Unable to send data, error -110
[361055.123574] usbtmc 3-1:1.0: usb_bulk_msg returned -110

I'm going to leave it like this in case you want me to try something.
