USB support tends to get clobbered by device pruning scripts-- unless
you happen to have all the USB devices plugged in and detected at boot
time.

My own kernel config hacking script, written before I went looking to
see if somebody had already invented this particular flavor of wheel:

It allows a list of extra modules to be supplied at the command line
that you don't want clobbered, e.g. all those funny usb devices.
