Sure, but I'm waiting for the guy who run into trouble using the parent
device to set ACL's to grant access to users. If that solves the problem,
I will add it. But it will not contain any exciting things, just the name
of the category. :)

The USB core, which also provided usbfs in the past, but that we
don't use anymore, cause kernel device filesystems are no longer the
right thing to do for Linux. We just create real device nodes with udev
to be picked up by libusb, just in the same way the the /proc/bus/usb
nodes have been picked up in the past.
