USB Debugging (was: Re: Best referance hardware at this point ?)

[Jamey Sharp]

I used the Linux early printk support for USB debug adapters several years
ago, and found it quite helpful on whatever machines I was testing on at
the time.

But I also thought that the EHCI spec required at least one port to support
debug, which I recently learned is not true. So I have no idea how widely
supported that feature is on current hardware.

If someone is willing to take the time to implement it, though, I think USB
debug nicely complements the other console interfaces Genode already
supports, and is worth doing for that reason.

The only Linux console interface that would be nicer, in my opinion, is
netconsole, and that's a pain both to implement and to configure.
