Our runlevel S loads the usb stuff unconditionally like this:
#
# load usb drivers in runlevel S

case "${PREVLEVEL}${RUNLEVEL}" in

This HOTPLUG_START_USB used to exist, but I'm not sure if we will leave
these HOTPLUG_START_{USB,IEEE1394,...} stuff for the next release. I
will probably remove it, have to think about it in the next days.
Well, maybe something like this could become part of a 'usb.rc boot' or
'usb.rc single' or something.
The only real issue is the /etc/sysconfig/ vs. /etc/default/
We should source both if they exist, it causes only one additional
stat() call.
The goal should be that the configuration is unified somehow, and not
spread all over /etc for the various distros.
