+Note that umockdev-record groups URBs aggressively. In most cases, manual
+intervention is unfortunately required. In most cases, drivers do a chain
+of commands like e.g. A then B each with a different reply. Umockdev will
+create a file like:
+
+A
+ reply 1
+ reply 2
+B
+ reply 1
+ reply 2

+which then needs to be re-ordered to be:

+Other changes may be needed to get everything working. For example the elan
+driver relies on a timeout that is not reported correctly. In this case the
+driver works around it by interpreting the protocol error differently in
+the virtual environment.
