| Well, I can't mount the filesystem on /proc/bus/usb, because there's

with usbcore already loaded, right?
It must be loaded for the mount to succeed.

no, it's independent of the host controller driver.
it's implemented in usbcore, although for anything to appear
inside /proc/bus/usb, a host controller driver must be loaded.

Yes, unless you use some other OS that needs it (like DOS,
which doesn't support USB so needs the emulation ;)
