We have already talked about libusb inside the FireBee project, for my
part I have leaved the possibility for the future, I don't exactly
know what USB resources expects libusb from the OS, but I have the
feeling that until we can offer all those resources is going to take
long, we are going to start with a very basic stack. For the USB user
space API I thought to do it through a pseudo-device and a library,
just like was done with sockets when they weren't integrated in the
kernel (<1.16).

This diagram shows what i have in mind:
