The point being that the implement the device/enpoint scheme, you need a
dynamic filesystem. Assigning fixed major/minors for device/endpoints is
unfortunately not possible as it would exhaust the available major/minor
number space accounting for all possible combinations.

Keeping usbdevfs for 2.2 would be a possible solution to the problem.
