Emmet. I just realised you seem to be suggest it worked with the patch
(for KVM on Hardy wasn't it?) but the patch simply replaces
/proc/bus/usb/ with /dev/bus/usb/ but there is no 'devices' file link
there *unless* the uncommented magic in /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh (or
equivalent) has created a usbfs and linked /dev/bus/usb/devices into it.

I've tested the KVM Gutsy patch here. Without mounting the usbfs (using
my new mountdevusbfs.sh script) I get:

$ ls -a /dev/bus/usb
.  ..  001  002  003  004  005

info usbhost
Could not open /dev/bus/usb/devices

But once the usbfs is mounted and the 'devices' link created, it works:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevusbfs.sh start
$ ls -a /dev/bus/usb
.  ..  001  002  003  004  005  devices  .usbfs

info usbhost
 Device 5.4, speed 480 Mb/s

    Class 00: USB device 0781:5151, Cruzer Micro

  Device 5.3, speed 480 Mb/s

    Class ef: USB device 05ca:1836

  Device 3.3, speed 12 Mb/s

    Class e0: USB device 044e:300d, UGX

Is it possible the Hardy init is creating the usbfs and linking devices,
or is there some confusion here?
