If we do this, then I have a suggestion.... this is something I've been
kicking around on linux-scsi, but it's too late to make this change for
2.4.0 for them -- it's probably easy for us.
Instead of modprobing "usb_hostcontroller", let's modprobe (in sequence)
"usb-hostcontroller0" then "usb-hostcontroller1" then "usb-hostcontroller2"
etc. until we find a name which isn't aliased to anything. Yes, in theory
you'd only have to modprobe 2 for now, but if someone develops a new HC,
I'd like to leave the door open.
