Well, it makes it harder. For devices not bound there's no difference.
For bound devices you might have a problem. I'll have to think about it.
Though it should be possible as shown by the scsi subsystem.
Another problem with usbdevfs is that it really is an aggregate of three
seperable functions.
- The drivers and devices files, which should IMHO be in proc on their own
- Informing on connected drivers
- Access as generic devices
The third is the one that really causes problems.
