For the record, despite all the discussion about wanting a USB Daemon
to autoload drivers, I've gotten no feedback about the two different
implementations I provided ... or, more significantly, the shell scripts
that they share to handle policies associated with driver loading and
subsequent configuration.
If folk are serious about dynamically loading USB modules, I'd expect
to see some more discussion on standards for such administrative policies.
My tentative conclusion is that not many people have gotten beyond the "yay,
my device works!!" stage to the "Wow, 2.4 does USB Plug'n'Play !!" stage.
That's a matter of time of course, but I'll encourage more folk to put
that higher on their priority lists ...

Good. I'd pointed out to Randy that I wanted to see two of them
(the ioctl to expose driver-to-interface binding, and seeing all
the device and config descriptors) in 2.4 regardless.
