linux_usbfs: Drop support for kernel versions earlier than 2.6.32 The Linux backend plays lots of games to try and work with older versions of the kernel that do not have certain features. Lets simplify the backend by requiring at least 2.6.32 to use libusb. The only thing remaining that still requires explicit version checking is the maximum iso frame packet size. Anything running 2.6.32 or later is sure to have a functional monotonic clock, so this change also allows the removal of the get_timerfd_clock() function from the backend as well as the check for a functional monotonic clock during initialization.

libusb is a library for USB device access from Linux, macOS, Windows, OpenBSD/NetBSD and Haiku userspace. It is written in C (Haiku backend in C++) and licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or, at your option, any later version (see COPYING).
libusb is abstracted internally in such a way that it can hopefully be ported to other operating systems. Please see the PORTING file for more information.
