Even more valuable when you make it device or bus specific.  I don't see
Greg arguing against a knob to turn off LPM.  Only the slegde hammer
operated master switch implementation :)

I recently started thinking about ways to make it easier to test/debug
all (or at least most of) the USB quirks. I stopped after discovering
that I didn't need the new quirk I thought I needed after all..  But the
idea was something along the lines of reusing the dynamic ID code in the
quirk processing. The "usb" driver could have a "new_id" (but let's call
it something else please) attribute, allowing writing a device ID and
quirk flag.  Reading the attribute should give you a list of all current
quirks.  The quirk processing is based on the common device matching
code, so adding dynamic device id matching should be a piece of cake
(FLW). 

Whatdoyouthink?  Yes, I know - too much talk and too little code.  I'll
see if I can come up with an RFC patch if noone else does in the mean
time.
