I've just pushed out to sources a new USB implementation, courtesy of
nemo, who debugged and repaired our old UHCI and OHCI drivers, wrote a
new EHCI driver for USB 2, converted the user-mode drivers in /bin/usb
and tested it all, among other things.  Thank you, nemo.

I've updated on sources at least /386/9*load* (though they contain no
USB code), /386/9pc*, kernel sources, manual pages and a few scripts
in /rc/bin.  Tomorrow's CD image should incorporate all this.

devusb has a new interface, so it is named #u, to distinguish it from
the old one, #U.  If usbd is compiled into /boot, /boot/boot will run
usbd at start up, thus permitting the use of USB keyboards, mice,
disks, etc. at boot time.
