_All_ mountpoints are stored in /proc/mounts
However, there is no way to tell whether a specific device
corresponds to a USB device.

Beyond what is already there, no.

Additions to /proc need to be done in kernel.

In 2.6 you can get this information from sysfs.
There's no simple way to export such information, especially there is
