Bug#568903: Enable USB/IP staging drivers



Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist

Please consider including the USB/IP drivers from the
staging directory:

CONFIG_USB_IP_COMMON=m
CONFIG_USB_IP_VHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_IP_HOST=m

As I understand, the drivers remain in staging not so much
because of quality issues but due to discussions about the
userspace API, which may still change.

The only users of the API which exist today are the usbip 
userspace tools through libusbip0. It should be possible to
adapt those if/when the API changes.

If these modules were provided in linux-2.6, we could drop
the usbip-source module package.
