usbip allows configuring a client and a server, to share a USB device
across the network.
As explained in the .mk, usbip has been part from the kernel since
linux-3.17. This would call for making it part of linux-tools, but this
is a bit unwieldy: usbip is an autotools package, so trying to do a
proper integration in linux-tools would basically need a complete
duplication of the autotools infra [0].
Instead, we decided to go with a full-blown package of its own, that
just uses the current-latest kernel version. This makes for a nice,
little autotools package as we like them. Nothing fancy.
To be noted, though: usbip has its own license and license file, so
that's what we use, and we do not reference those for the rest of the
kernel: its GPL-2.0-or-later, not GPL-2.0(-only).
Finally, we only enable the core usbip support in the kernel, and leave
it to the user whether they should enable server and/or client support.
[0] been there, done that; that was ugly and incomplete, what with the
libtool patches, autoreconf, and what not.
