Usb console

This project is aimed to use the USB host to host cable as a kernel console. Actualy it only works with Prolific PL2301, more chipsets are wellcome. Each kernel message is sent through the cable and caught, on the other side, by a urbgrabber included in the sources. Since each urbs maybe submitted in interrupt context this device driver doesn't works with 2.4.x kernel versions due to the lack of asynchrous URBs.
