The problem is that unless someone has made the udev changes required
(blacklist visor, add udev rule, etc) an automatic migration would break
people's existing config.

I guess we could use 'usb:' under the hood automatically if we get a usb
wakeup and detect that there isn't any visor module loaded.

Either that, or make the auto-migration a configuration option, so that
packagers can enable it on distributions that package pilot-link with
libusb support and the udev changes applied.

Comments?
