Add usb-mount failure, usb power failure (not plugged into a powered
source), usb slowed (device of version x, slowed to x-1 because of port)
and no driver warning to that list.

Reporting that a device has been plugged in is good but the displayable
information about these devices is sometimes poor. Look at some of the
names and lack of icons for a lot of devices, we should want to make
this look awesome and that means more user identifiable information.

How to pair devices up with this information is for another mailing list
I think.
