It didn't make any sense to me either after looking at the patch...  I'm
100% sure that was the only change between boots, and it started working
again after I reverted the sys/dev/usb directory and rebuilt. (svk is
great for juggling patch sets around)

That's one of the reasons I briefly suspected the nvidia driver causing
problems somewhere, so I removed that from the mix just to be sure.

'blah blah' translates into numbers that mean nothing to me, but they
may be useful to someone:
