Good point; I'm used to other platforms, but haven't had an amd64 yet
so I'm not mentally used to USB2 being normal elsewhere.

From=20src/sys/conf/std:

  # this file is for options which can't be off-by-default for some reasons.
  # "it's commonly used" is NOT a good reason to enable options here.

My memory of the negative option debate is fuzzy.
I recall that we don't like "options NO_FOO", so inverting the sense
of the option is not ok.

A number of config files have ugen - list at end.  (I don't know why
i386/INSTALL_LAPTOP has ugen - I don't know of any ugen-attaching
device that one could install via.)

I could add the option to amd64/GENERIC if there are no objections
(but can't test even that it doesn't break things); that's certainly a
viable GNU Radio platform.  Is there someone running amd64 with a
USRP?  There's also alpha and sparc64.

Perhaps we need a standard config file for things that attach to
"uhub?" that can be included from kernels that have USB interfaces.
This should probably be done as part of a larger effort to perform
common subexpression elimination in config files, but might be a good
concrete example to drive the discussion.
