That makes sense. USB devices have to "request" how much power-draw
they want to pull from the host. If you kill the "stuff" that talks
to USB devices, they can't request power.

Then how does my USB light get power; surely it doesn't "request" enough
power to run an LED? I can also charge my Palm with the computer off;
there's nothing running to receive any "request".
