USB over ethernet

[Thomas Charron]

  Doesn't require a kernal rebuild.  Just build the module that get loaded
into the kernel.  *shrug*  The manager then does the work of configuring the
module.  Looks like it's actually in the 2.6.x proposed sets, but hasn't
quite made it to the mainline kern yet.  It may be in some as 'usbip' or
'usb_ip'.

  No way to really do it with a userland solution, just hacks that pass the
file systems around, etc..
