I'm wondering the same thing, but I've seen tricks like this used:

(define _usb-bus-pointer-dummy _pointer)

(define-cstruct _usb-device
  ([next         _usb-device-pointer/null]
   [prev         _usb-device-pointer/null]
	...
   [bus          _usb-bus-pointer-dummy]))

(define-cstruct _usb-bus
  ([next         _usb-bus-pointer/null]
   [prev         _usb-bus-pointer/null]  ...))

(set! _usb-bus-pointer-dummy _usb-bus-pointer)


Cheers,
Tom
