There is a problem in 2.6 with the mount options for usbfs/usbdevfs,
they are ignored.  This is becuase the "remount" function isn't
extended to re-parse the options and update the nodes.  I have a patch
for this, but while writing it I noticed that while usbfs and usbdevfs
are different filesystems, they share the same options (devmode,
devuid, listuid, etc).  So having usbfs mounted with one set of
options and usbdevfs with another isn't possible.  Is it time to just
get rid of usbdevfs?  If not, should the mount options apply to both
filesystems the same or should the options be seperated into usbfs and
usbdevfs options?  I wanted to discuss a bit before submitting the
patch.

Thanks!
