The only driver which uses libusb and for which usage of the interrupt  
pipeline is optional, is usbhid-ups. All others either don't use it,  
or require it. For the usbhid-ups driver we have the 'pollonly' flag  
to deal with broken input reports (it will disable them completely).

The following is the comment from 'configure.in':

	dnl FIXME: Sun's libusb doesn't support timeout (so blocks notification)
	dnl and need to call libusb close upon reconnexion

Either interrupt reports are required, not used or can be switched off  
by a configuration flag. The only case we haven't dealt with, is the  
hal-addons (which I don't mind breaking at this time). I think we can  
safely remove the hack (or automatically enable 'pollonly' for Solaris  
in the usbhid-ups driver).

Best regards, Arjen
