 Here's the commit in question:

 USB: enable USB-PERSIST by default
 Alan Stern [Thu, 6 Mar 2008 16:04:13 +0000 (11:04 -0500)]
 This patch (as1052) enables USB-PERSIST for all devices by default.
 The user won't have to remember to enable it explicitly for devices
 containing mounted filesystems.

 Eventually userspace tools like hal may be able to set the persist
 attribute automatically when a filesystem is mounted on a USB device.
 When that time comes this patch can be reverted, if people think it
 matters.

 This approach has the advantage of giving the user the ability to turn
 off USB-PERSIST for devices with mounted filesystems, rather than
 making the kernel always assume it should be on.
 }}}

 How do we handle the mounted-filesystems-on-suspend case at the moment?
 Reading the last few paragraphs of Documentation/usb/persist.txt is a bit
 scary.
