This means modifying the userspace code whose source isn't in the kernel tree (I got it from http://www.linux-usb.org/usbtest/testusb.c) Since that can't be modified with a kernel patch there is the problem of backwards and forwards compatibility (ie breaking people's existing testusb programs when switching to a new kernel and modified testusb potentially not working on old kernels.) If the testusb source were to be put in the kernel source tree (where?) these problems would go away.
