Well, I can't mount the filesystem on /proc/bus/usb, because there's
nothing there. But this is interesting:
[root@pc /]# mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /mnt/temp2
mount: fs type usbdevfs not supported by kernel
Did't enable "Preliminary USB Filesystem" in the kernel source; enabling,
recompiling, rebooting...

Nope, didn't work. While I'm sure that was enough to make usbdevfs an
unknown filesystem, it apparently wasn't everything. I still get the same
message.
I thought maybe it was supposed to be the other USB controller driver
('JE'), so I tried that one; but that wouldn't even load.

So what the USB settings are in the BIOS, is immaterial, right?

Hate to think I was losing (my touch|sanity). :-)
