How does usbd interact with the boot process?  I noticed
that #u gets mounted on /dev and usbd gets run by the boot
process.  I don't see /srv/usb getting mounted on /dev (thats
where the devices appear, right?).

If I plug in a usb keyboard during boot, would I get to use
it?  If so, how does it get accessed?  If I plug in a usb
disk, can I use it as the root filesystem?  If so, what kind
of root spec would I need to use?
