packing together various projects around, and i was wondering
how to handle the situation of a device being
detached while in use.

Right now the code (from ports/multimedia/pwcbsd) detects
that the device is in use while the driver-specific USB_DETACH
routine is called, however then it goes on without doing
anything.

In another driver in the dree (urio.c) i see the driver
calls usb_detach_wait() to wait up to 60s for the
drivers to complete. However that function is not documented
and used a bit inconsistently in the rest of /sys/dev/usb

Any suggestions ?
