[PATCH] USB Storage: unusual_devs.h addition

took me a while to get my external usb drive running under linux-2.6.6,
appears to need the appended fix. according to the header in unusual_devs.h
one should send them to you, so here you go.

the funny thing is that it works fine unter linux-2.6.0-test11 on different
hardware, but then i'm out of my depth concerning what might have been
changed in the usb driver in the meantime. i don't really follow the
changes. i didn't find any real documentation about what these flags do,
only a couple of "my usb drive worked with 2.4 but doesn't work any more
with 2.6" messages on the web, and some of them pointed to unusual_devs.h. i
do not claim to know what i've done with this fix, but i'd like to see it
officially included. :-)
