umass device support...how generic is it?

Is there any point in reporting specific devices that work with umass(4)
any more, or is the assumption these days that anything that will work on a
Windows or Linux box, without additional drivers, will also work on
FreeBSD? The cheapo 'pen drive' that I picked up on ebay yesterday
surprised me by just working, with no pain whatsoever... I'm wondering if
maybe I shouldn't be so surprised by these small victories :-)
If it is true that pretty much everything just works, the manpage and
hardware list should probably be updated -- right now the manpage gives the
impression that only a few devices are supported. I'll put together a PR
unless someone in the know tells me I'm totally wrong about this.
