I might be over my head here ;-)
But what exactly is the problem with supporting usbdevfs into 2.2 ?
change ? Adding a new subsystem is going to involve change anyway
especially because of the nature of usb. Further, I seriously doubt if
vendors are going to leave out usb device support, usb is too much of a
hype. They'll also want plug and play, so they might have to take the
usbdevfs for granted.
Does the usbdevfs part also contain (serious) race conditions ?
