USB devices have been put into another file, with an include statement in GENERIC:

Following is the result of a grep search of sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC

6:# kernel.  The generic kernel does not include all options, subsystems
21:include 	"arch/amd64/conf/std.amd64"
148:include 	"conf/compat_netbsd15.config"
167:include "conf/filesystems.config"
917:include "dev/usb/usbdevices.config"
1081:cinclude "arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC.local"
1169:include "dev/veriexec.config"

This is not the very latest, so line numbers might be different in the current GENERIC for amd64 and other archs.  In this version, from last Aug12, the include for USB devices is on line 917.
