USB: usb-storage: add "quirks=" module parameter
This patch (as1163b) adds a "quirks=" module parameter to usb-storage.
This will allow people to make short-term changes to their
unusual_devs list without rebuilding the entire driver. Testing will
become much easier, and less-sophisticated users will be able to
access their buggy devices after a simple config-file change instead
of having to wait for a new kernel release.
The patch also adds a documentation entry for usb-storage's
"delay_use" parameter, which has been around for years but but was
never listed among the kernel parameters.
