hm. That's a somewhat nasty patch you have there.

This should be in a header file, but where?

Does the existing code compile-n-work with CONFIG_BLOCK=n?

mutter. I'd have thought that with suitable fiddling most of this code
could be moved into the USB core and some of it (the
kobject_create_and_add()) can be done via USB's initcalls.

deworsens things slightly.
