I'm currently working on some changes to improve loadable
driver support for USB. As things look now, you might be able
to get an LKM working with the existing framework, if you
load the LKM before plugging in the device.

I'd suggest using eg sys/lkm/dev/pci/dummy_pci as a starting
point. You need to adapt the attachment information to the
USB "usbifif" interface, see dev/usb/files.usb.
("usbifif" means "interface interface", it should be used
because the video stuff takes only one interface out of three,
and leaves the other two to audio which is hopefully handled
by the standard uaudio driver.)
So the locator array ("pciloc" in the template) would
be "{-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1}, corresponding to the default
locators in the "usbifif" definition.
The "pciparent" would turn into "{"usbifif", "uhub", DVUNIT_ANY}".
The rest should be like in the pci example.
Your match/attach functions get the per-interface structures
passed in the "aux" argument, so the "USB_IFMATCH_START"
and "USB_IFATTACH_START" macros are the correct ones.
(I'd open-code that stuff, the macros pretend some source
compatibility to FreeBSD which isn't there anymore.)

I can't guarantee that this really works, but it is worth a try.

best regards
Matthias
