An interrupt is generated when the frame number rolls over and we use this to increment the upper bits so the frame

when scheduling isochronous I/O.

So the lower 11 bits are the frame number and the upper bits are, in effect, a count of frame number overflows.

Is there any reason to interpret it as anything other than a 64-bit integer, or to specify that division in the spec 
for the format?
