That would be something like

  $ ln -s /cfg/usb-function-gadget/G1 \
        /cfg/usb-function-gadget/udcs/udc1/

Where we "bind" the complete gadget (G1) including the mass storage
configuration to the UDC (udc1 in this example).

At this point we could snapshot the complete configuration so we have
it persistent and if somebody changes attributes within /cfg/usb-
function-gadget/G1 it doesn't matter because we have the copy.

Is it _this_ what you want us to do? A snapshot?
