Great, glad it works!  Yeah, that's the part where you'd potentially
want to attach them all; since you're the one with the hardware
in a position to really test it, I'd appreciate if you'd add the
appropriate USB_DEBUG printfs for the PALM4 (!VISOR) case to see what
ports are really available and hopefully get someone who really knows
the USB/device drivers to finish making multiple ucom attachment work.

I really wonder why in most cases we're diverging from NetBSD's USB drivers
at all such that most changes are a "porting" effort :-/
