Great! Are you going to propose a Documentation/ABI/ patch to help
with that? e.g., Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-vhci-hcd?
I'm frankly not that familiar with usbip (I'm just trying to help
David out) and might not be the best person for describing the details
exposed here.

And are you planning to try something else to maintain compatibility
pre-[1]? I'm not saying you have to, but you mentioned it and I'd like
to know if we're doing any duplicate work.

Regards,
Brian
