Hi,

After some talk to gregkh, I've decided to send this message as it might
give some light regarding the breakage of the USB modules when usbcore
is built-in instead of compiled as module.

Modules that are breaking with CONFIG_USB=y :

- audio, bfusb, bcm203x, bpa10x, hci_usb, usblp, usb-midi, cdc_acm,
   uhci-hcd, ohci-hcd, ehci-hcd, usb-storage...

For those, the core API symbols that follow are missing as of the
built-in selected option:

usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_alloc_urb
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_free_urb
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_register
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_put_dev
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_get_dev
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_submit_urb
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_match_id
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_control_msg
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_deregister
usbserial: Unknown symbol usb_kill_urb

The symbols are in the System map:

c02fd7b0 T usb_free_urb
c02fd7d0 T usb_get_urb
c02fd800 T usb_submit_urb
c02fdaa0 T usb_unlink_urb
c02fdb40 T usb_kill_urb
(...)

Greg suggested on fixing the Kconfig but I'm not sure if this a
Gentoo-only issue, or it's widely. Thus, if it needs to be fixed, let me
know and I'll get over it ASAP as it might be a blocking issue in
certain cases.

(It doesn't seem to be a good idea to let all the USB-related drivers
getting built-in)

Thanks in advance,
cheers.
