Hello

I was considering submitting a patch to rearrange some USB devices in the GENERIC kernel config.  I wanted to get some feedback / comments before I submit a PR.  

What I was going to propose is moving rum(4), ural(4), uath(4) and zyd(4) into a separate USB section, similar to 'USB Serial devices' and 'USB Ethernet'. 

A diff of the i386 GENERIC is attached, and comments appreciated.
