dynamically-loaded modules are useful--perhaps even essential--
for some things, but most usb work still doesn't really require
kernel support for much more than managing the IO streams once the
device is configured.  the interface to those streams
needs to be improved, partly because the spec was ambiguous
about one point, and partly because of experience with it,
but having looked at the usb support in other systems, i think
it's good to aim to keep it out of the kernel.
