Below is a patch from Rink Springer to change the new USB stack to use devfs

with other devices can test too, in particular scanners (sane app) and lpt

This also removes the custom permissions from usb and usbconfig.

This seems to address my concerns, including eliminating the new use if
PRIV_ROOT that got added. Once this is in the tree I can remove PRIV_ROOT
entirely, so with any luck we can get a new fine-grained privilege model done
by 8.0.
