This patch (as714b) makes usb_generic into a usb_device_driver capable of being probed and unbound, just like other drivers. A fair amount of the work that used to get done during discovery or removal of a USB device have been moved to the probe and disconnect methods of usb_generic: creating the sysfs attributes and selecting an initial configuration. However the normal behavior should continue to be the same as before. We will now have the possibility of creating other USB device drivers, They will assist with exporting devices to remote systems (USB-over-TCPIP) or to paravirtual guest operating systems.
