i'm not familiar with linux usb implementation so may be it's wrong:
after sending global reset over the bus you can manually check (not
trough the hub driver) root port connection status and call enumeration
if needed.

another way- add an option to kernel for booting from usb mass-storage,
where place an input-waiting code, because my current solution adds such
delay for all boots (ide,scsi,usb)
