No. That's not the real problem here. The real problem here is that uhub doesn't implement the driver_added callback correctly. The ugen issue, while interesting, can be overcome by not having ugen in the kernel.

When ugen is in the kernel, we do need to do the rebid thing in newbus, which we don't do, but there's little point in fixing one w/o fixing the other.
