    SysRq is your friend :)

    For the signal stuff, no, I use SysRq.  For usbdevfs, it depends on your
    distro version.  Look for a check for the file /proc/bus/usb/devices and
    change it to check for the directory /proc/bus/usb instead (devices and
    drivers disapear unless you have a usb host driver loaded now.)
