Subject: can we move USB_DEVICEFS to non-embedded?

commit cc71329b3b89b4a5be849b617f2c4f151f0b9213 moved USB_DEVICEFS to
be embedded and marked it as depreciated. Can this be reverted? This
breaks vmware and those systems not using udev.

Here's a small patch to move it as non-embedded.

Thanks,
Jeff.
