Bug 2575

devmode in fstab is being completely ignored by usbfs on 2.6.5 meaning
user-attached devices can only be accessed by root.

debian:~# uname -a

debian:~# cat /etc/fstab

debian:~# ls -al /proc/bus/usb/002/002
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           43 Apr 23 04:22 /proc/bus/usb/002/002

2.4 is not exhibiting the problem.  Output from a 2.4 machine is as expected:

snotfish# ls -al /proc/bus/usb/002/002 
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     root           18 Apr 23 01:14 /proc/bus/usb/002/002
