This patch (as1297) adds a "remove" attribute to each USB device's directory in sysfs. Writing to this attribute causes the device to be deconfigured (the same as writing 0 to the "bConfigurationValue" attribute) and then tells the hub driver to disable the device's upstream port. The device remains locked during these activities so there is no possibility of it getting reconfigured in between. The port will remain disabled until after the device is unplugged. The purpose of this is to provide a means for user programs to imitate the "Safely remove hardware" applet in Windows. Some devices do expect their ports to be disabled before they are unplugged, and they provide visual feedback to users indicating when they can safely be unplugged. The security implications are minimal. Writing to the "remove" attribute is no more dangerous than writing to the "bConfigurationValue" attribute.
