We need to also start rifling through the numerous USB PRs and figure out 
what is still valid, this has started, and needs to continue.  I plan on 
looking at a few PRs this weekend.  Also pretty much all the NetBSD USB 
changes that have been made over the last 3 years that haven't been 
imported needs to be imported if possible so we aren't stuck with broken 
and diverging USB code.
There are some issues with some stand alone USB mice (Microsoft 
Intellimouse Explorer) that don't work.  I've got some preliminary patches 
to get some of these partially working.  There are also issues with 
various Palm-based handhelds displaying strange behavior when trying to 
sync.  There seems to be a timing bug in the USB that I can reproduce with 
my Handspring Visor has existed from 4.x to now, causing the first attempt 
to sync to timeout.
usbd needs to die now that we have devd.  I'm going to (unless someone 
beats me there) create a patch to transfer all of the usbd.conf devices to 
devd.conf.  This also means that devfs.rules needs to be documented about 
so people can set the permissions properly.

That's my 2 cents.
