Greg Kroah-Hartman wrote a series of articles for Linux Journal on adding
kernel support for USB devices, including one on libusb. The libusb article
is probably a little out of date, but it should be a good starting point
for the OP.

You can find the links here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/user/800887/track
(the libusb article is http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7466).
