The difference between these results is that
'205 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 13:13 usbfs_snoop' on CentOS 5.2 is
reported as '200 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 22 13:03' on Debian Sarge
if CONFIG_USB=y.

Isn't http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git;a=summary (as of this posting)
identical to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.27.2.tar.bz2 ?
