Subject: [PATCH 09/10] HID: add compat support
Add compat option to hid code to allow loading of all modules on
systems which don't allow autoloading because of old userspace.

+ Compatible option for older userspace. If you have system without udev
+ support of module loading through aliases and also old
+ module-init-tools which can't handle hid bus, choose Y here. Otherwise
