With the removal of the deprecated usbfs feature in the 3.5 release
candidates, is there a way of getting USB devices working on a non-
embedded Linux system without udev (static "/dev")?

Assume I have a way to determine the appropriate device nodes to create
under /dev/bus/usb.  What else is needed to get USB keyboards and mice
working again?  The mapping of a particular USB device to a class
(input, generic_usb, etc.) that used to happen before USB_DEVICE_CLASS
was removed is the part I'm missing.

Thanks in advance.
