* isys/isys.py (driveIsRemovable): Split module checking out to its

  own functions.  Allow usb-storage installs.
* partitions.py: warn if you're using firewire or usb
* loader2/modules.c (loadModule): Delay on reloading usb-storage, as
  it takes undefined time as well.  Without this /tmp/scsidisks is
  wrong.
* loader2/modules.c (writeModulesConf): don't exclude usb-storage
  or sbp2.
