Some is at http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected=usb
but that's just focussing on the hotplug-related stuff, not
describing usbdevfs or how the kernel manages enumeration.

Good, the kernel didn't have problems enumerating it.

One example: http://jphoto.sourceforge.net/?selected=sync
That runs a script to download images from one type of camera,
when it's hooked up. Similar setups have been used to download
device firmware, start PDA hotsync daemons, and so on.
(I suppose the hotplug site should get an example too...)
If you need to load a kernel driver _and_ run a script, then
the name of the module and script should be the same; you
won't even need to modify usb.handmap if your driver is
written correctly (using MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE so
that "depmod" does its magic).
