Eeeww.  I wonder how I could have missed that?  OK, thanks.

2 USB ports, MS USB gamepad on one causes no problem, but connecting the 
joystick with GENERIC kernel and 4.4 release caused a kernel panic.  I've 
upgraded to 4.5-prerelease and removed USB support from the kernel.  Didn't 
want to re-enable until I knew what to do, and in search of the proper kernel 
config lines I ran across Nick's USB/BSD web page.  I interpreted that 
(possibly incorrectly) as saying FBSD didn't presently support USB joysticks.  
So it's off to look at the PR and another thank-you.
