However, I share Bruce's concerns, as well as the ability to build usb modules outside the tree. One really needs to make all instances of dev/usb/usbdevs*.h into "usbdevs*.h" and generate it at kernel build time in the kernel build directory (since the kernel tree may be read only). One further needs to ensure that drivers build outside the tree will work as well. This is an ugly problem.
