It looks to me they should also move where they belong, to the real
usb_host device on the usb bus, and not in some disconnected class
device. If it really causes issues for anybody, we can always create a
symlink from the usb_host directory to the real device. But I'd rather
remove that whole thing if possible.

Sounds great. Then people can do this, if they are crazy enough. :)
  touch /dev/bus/usb/devices
  mount --bind /sys/kernel/debug/<some name> /dev/bus/usb/devices
