Where are these modules on your site? 

The main reason why I want USB support in Linux is that I have been
working with USB memory sticks under DOS for almost one year.
Meanwhile our office computers have been entirely freed from data.
They contain only system and application software, an identical set
on every machine, whereas the user data - texts, databases, web
pages, graphic files - has emigrated to flash sticks. Now I am
looking for a practical way of doing backups without needing to
reboot the computer for every flash stick again.

I already realized that CD-ROM support was missing. And I am not 
completely sure what kind of kernel support will be needed for burning 
CDs.
