[PATCH] USB: add dynamic id functionality to USB core

Echo the usb vendor and product id to the "new_id" file in the driver's
sysfs directory, and then that driver will be able to bind to a device
with those ids if it is present.

Example:
	echo 0557 2008 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo_driver/new_id
adds the hex values 0557 and 2008 to the device id table for the foo_driver.

Note, usb-serial drivers do not currently work with this capability yet.
usb-storage also might have some oddities.
