When S40mountfs is called, it tries to load each fs listed in fstab
(with some exceptions irrelevant to this discussion). If usbfs is listed
in /etc/fstab, then the mountfs script will fail unless Host-side USB
and USB device filesystem support exists in the kernel before S40mountfs
runs.

There are two ways to ensure that support exists.

1) Don't build them as modules
2) Build them as modules and have the S05modules script load those
modules. S05modules will modprobe each module listed in
/etc/sysconfig/modules.

If you can reword that in a way that doesn't require 2 big paragraphs,
please do.
