The error is that the USB drivers are in /sys/dev/usb, we spent a while moving drivers out of /sys/dev/pci and /sys/i386/isa so I don't think grouping by bus in /sys/modules is any more sensible. It makes more sense to shift them around into /sys/modules/ether or /sys/modules/disk, which is why /sys/modules/sound is somewhat acceptable. -- Tis a wise thing to know what is wanted, wiser still to know when it has been achieved and wisest of all to know when it is unachievable for then striving is folly.
