Edward Tomasz Napierala cc5bbcb275 Add USB Mass Storage CTL frontend. This makes it possible
for USB OTG-capable hardware to implement device side of USB
Mass Storage, ie pretend it's a flash drive.  It's configured
in the same way as other CTL frontends, using ctladm(8)
or ctld(8).  Differently from usfs(4), all the configuration
can be done without rebuilding the kernel.

Testing and review is welcome.  Right now I'm still moving,
and I don't have access to my test environment, so I'm somewhat
reluctant to making larger changes to this code; on the other
hand I don't want to let it sit on Phab until my testing setup
is back, because I want to get it into 11.1-RELEASE.

.Sh NAME
.Nm usfs
.Nd USB device side support for bulk only transport mass storage
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device usb"
.Cd "device usfs"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
usfs_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for emulating an USB mass storage device when
the USB stack is activated in USB device side mode (the
.Xr usb_template 4
module is loaded and the
.Va hw.usb.template
sysctl is set to 0).
.Pp
Upon attach the driver creates a RAM disk which can be read and written.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr cfumass 4 ,
.Xr umass 4 ,
.Xr usb 4 ,
.Xr usb_template 4
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
driver appeared in FreeBSD 8.
