Including it in the kernel is not needed and/or superfluous... You can utilize mkinitrd to create a boot image (used automatically by the boot loader) that incorporates any modules that you need present and loaded during the first stage of the boot. Booting from a SCSI device requires this. There is no reason that you can use this to add in the USB drivers either. You could go as far as booting Linux from a USB hard drive (ugh!!). -JMS
