Hi, I see this regression in v2.6.30-rc1.  I end up with a module 
"usual_tables.ko", which is loaded on boot and causes the kernel to 
complain about an unspecified license.  See subject for the exact error 
message.

I have

CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m
CONFIG_USB_LIBUSUAL=y

Also, usb-storage doesn't seem to get loaded automatically, as it did in 
2.6.29 with the same configs.

Thanks
Alan

Hmm, seems someone else broke request_module().  So don't worry about
this last issue - I'm sure it will get fixed :-).

This looks like a mistake in the Makefile.  Does the patch below fix
the problem?
