FWIW, The CVS version as of yesterday compiled and ran for me.
Also, I decided not to use usbd for my testing/development since we need
more than just modprobing. You need to tell the USB core which driver
gets the device/interface. You can't let the current probe scheme do it
since it won't always work.
To tell the core this, you need a channel back into the kernel. I didn't
see a reason to create an entirely new one when the devfsd channel
exists already and proactively notifies userspace of new devices anyway
(instead of the poll()'ing on /proc/bus/usb that usbd does).
Just seems like a better fit.
