vendor, device and ID_MODEL_ID where changed to be parsed as hex some weeks ago.

I based my assumption that busnum and devnum are decimal on the lsusb
manpage, because the udev driver output matches the lsusb output. The
manpage says busnum and devnum are decimal and it also says that
vendor is hex.

I just found a libvirt bugreport [1] that confirms my assumption. Also
googling for 'lsusb "bus X"' with X as decimal and hex numbers gives
no result with hex numbers like 00A, but gives results for decimal
numbers like 010, 011, etc. So I'm pretty sure that busnum and devnum
are decimal :)

Okay, I pushed this one.
