Hmm.. So probably there is no any heuristics dissectors (nobody use it?),
because I see heuristic tables  (like register_heur_dissector_list("usb.bulk",
&heur_bulk_subdissector_list);)
but those tables are empty. Should we add to mass storage dissector something
like:
"    heur_dissector_add("usb.bulk", dissect_usb_ms_bulk, proto_usb_ms);"?
