This looks plausable, and would be helpful to the hard-core hacker or
developer. However it would not really help with 'out of the box'
experience unless the distros would carry additional files for all known
'patches'.

As it stands it would require a file for each USB bus (presumably to allow
different settings for similar devices on a PC).

Given that you can bind/unbind USB devices via the
'/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb-hid/[un]bind' interface, could it be possible to
present a HID descriptor file into which could be cat'ed a new descriptor
by the hard-core hacker?
