Well, when I said it was sparse, I guess I should have said "Almost
nothing at all."  Seriously, I cvsup the doc stuff the same time I
cvsup'd 2.2.6-RELEASE, and there's a section in the FAQ on how PnP
devices are detected and initialized, but not really the mechanics of
playing with the USERCONFIG stuff in the kernel after booting with -c.
I would have thought such an important new feature would be better
documented.  Oh well, I can understand how one runs out of time.  The
pnpinfo and pnp and dset man pages are okay, but if you're not all
that familiar with Plug n Play stuff, they don't quite tell you what
to do.
