Hi,
This patch makes usbcore driver sort usb bus on the usb_bus_list by busnum when
registering a new bus instance.
In current implementation a new bus instance is simply added in front of existing busses.
Although there is nothing wrong with it in kernel code, reloading HCD may break bus order
of /proc/bus/usb/devices as it makes usbcore re-register the bus to the list as shown in
the example below. and it doesn't look good or it may confuse some users.

With this patch, bus instances on the usb_bus_list is kept in busnum order (from large to
small busnum). As a result /proc/bus/usb/devices prints devices in busnum order regardless
of HCD reloading. Although a few applications (eg.lsusb) use /proc/bus/usb/devices, this
patch has no effect to them.

No one should care about this.

How does it confuse anyone? (also note that /proc/bus/usb/devices is
not used in modern distros, it's in a different location now.)
Why not fix your tools to report things in the correct order if you
really care about it? The bus number means nothing except a unique id,
it does not matter if things are sorted or not in the debug file.
Actually, in the lsusb-rewrite I am doing, the userspace tool does the
sorting, no need to change the kernel.
So, sorry, I'm not going to accept this change.
