Well, .km and .xif modules are loadable, at least during boot up ;)
Do you want to make the module load / unload during attach / detach of 
the USB devices?
It could also be done with an module the way they are currently... but 
the user just has to know which usb-device-drivers he must
put into the mint folder. Is it essential to free the kernel memory 
when the device is detaching?
Of course it is better,... but not really needed, is it? To me, 
Basically, it is the same as with networking:

networking-card  <-> USB Hub/Bus driver,
networking-proto <-> USB Device driver

Just my 2 cents, because I think discussing things is always good ;)
