 Dear "Fbsd1" (Joe Barbish?),
 Hans meant that this is not an issue with USB kernel driver and he is totally
 correct.  usb@ assignment is for bugs with kernel USB driver only.
 BTW, bootloader doesn't have any explicit knowledge of USB either, it uses BIOS
 interface and depends on BIOS USB emulation.
 
 I think that Hans can't change the PR assignment.
 So this message is mostly for Mark :-)
