Its not that they just enable it. Its that it has side effects. I enable it to support
one device - it then 'devnaps' other devices that usbstorage supports _much_
better. Is there some way it could work in reverse. eg. let ub bind only if
usbstorage does not, possibly making usbstorage a _little_ more conservative
if ub is present?
