The man page should make it clear that one needs to recompile the kernel with that option or these sysctls should be made availabe without "options USB_DEBUG". Probably the easiest way would be to update the man page and also mention that the sysctl hw.usb.ehci.lostintrbug is highly probable to solve problems with slow devices or ones that get stalled regularly.
