I assume that /proc/bus/usb/drivers went to driverfs. Everyone likes the new
guy :)

I'd like the file back. We have a lot of debugging advice that asks people to
send that particular file to us, and it is very useful. Even if you update
the few places that you can find, then you will still have a lot of confusion
(well, if you have 2.4, then send this, and if you have 2.6, send this, and
if that doesn't exist, and you're on 2.4, mount this filesystem, else mount
this filesystem). Ugly, and increases the support workload.

A symlink will do, assuming both filesystems are mounted. If we only have
usbfs, I still want the data.

Please fix this before 2.6.

Brad
