    The manual page is definitely out of date.  usbd *used* to handle 
    core connect and disconnect events, but all of that was moved into a 
    kernel thread and integrated into the driver.  Now usbd just deals with
    auxillary effects such as ifconfig'ing up a USB ethernet, running
    moused on a USB mouse, etc.
