is treated as a wildcard.
For example, if you want to watch for all the hubs, which have a device
class of \c 0x09, you would pass this descriptor:
\code
usb_support_descriptor hub_devs = { 9, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

\fn status_t (*usb_module_info::register_driver)(const char *driverName, const usb_support_descriptor *supportDescriptors, size_t supportDescriptorCount, const char *optionalRepublishDriverName)
\brief Register your driver.
To let the USB stack know that a driver is available to support devices, a
driver needs to register itself first. To let the stack know which devices
it needs to notify the driver of, have a look at usb_support_descriptor.
It is possible to supply a list of support constructors. You should allocate
an array of support constructors, and give the amount of constructors in the
array using the \a supportDescriptorCount parameter.
In case your driver supports all devices, or more likely, in case you want to
monitor all devices plugged in and removed, it is safe to pass \c NULL to the
\a supportDescriptors paramater and zero (0) to \a supportDescriptorCount.
\param driverName A unique name that identifies your driver. Avoid names like
\c webcam or \c mouse, instead use vendor names and device types to avoid
nameclashes. The install_notify() and uninstall_notify() functions use the
driver name as an identifier.
\param supportDescriptors An array of the type usb_support_descriptor. Pass
the amount of objects in the next parameter.
\param supportDescriptorCount The number of objects in the array supplied in
the previous parameter.
\param optionalRepublishDriverName Unused parameter. You should pass \c NULL.
\retval B_OK The driver is registered. You can now call install_notify()
\retval B_BAD_VALUE You passed \c NULL as \a driverName.
\retval B_ERROR General internal error in the USB stack. You may retry the
request in this case.
\retval B_NO_MEMORY Error allocating some internal objects. The system is
out of memory.

/*!
\fn status_t (*usb_module_info::install_notify)(const char *driverName, const usb_notify_hooks *hooks)
\brief Install notify hooks for your driver.
After your driver is registered, you need to pass hooks to your driver that
are called whenever a device that matches your \link usb_support_descriptor
support descriptor \endlink .
As soon as the hooks are installed you'll receive callbacks for devices that
are already attached, so make sure your driver is initialized properly when
calling this method.
\param driverName The name you passed in register_driver().
\param hooks The hooks the stack should call in case the status of devices
that match your support descriptor changes.
\retval B_OK Hooks are installed succesfully.
\retval B_NAME_NOT_FOUND Invalid \a driverName.
\see usb_notify_hooks for information on how your hooks should behave.

\fn status_t (*usb_module_info::uninstall_notify)(const char *driverName)
\brief Uninstall notify hooks for your driver.
If your driver needs to stop, you can uninstall the notifier hooks. This will
clear the stored hooks in the driver and you will not receive any
notifications when new devices are attached. This method will also call
usb_notify_hooks::device_removed() for all the devices that you are using and
all the stack's resources that are allocated to your driver are cleared.
\param driverName The name you passed in register_driver().
\retval B_OK Hooks are uninstalled.

ignored and \c B_OK will be returned.
