usbdevfs is a Linuxism. devfs's semantics are totally different. Porting it would allow Linux native applications, such as VMware and Linux-compiled userland USB drivers, to operate under FreeBSD. It would also mean that proprietary USB devices could be operated within guest operating systems, and perhaps reverse engineered more easily. I think this is one of the things Joe was driving at.
