I think we should support 2.4 kernels FWIW. I'm just waiting for
someone to send a patch that adds a configure check instead of breaking
the build for newer kernels.
I think the best way to do it would be to try and detect the right
header files for usb pass through in configure, and disable usb-linux.c
entirely if they aren't available.
