I don't remember what the "certain circumstances" referred to 
originally.  Right now, if the USB_QUIRK_RESET_RESUME quirk is set 
(meaning that the device can't reset properly so it always has to be 
reset-resumed) then persist will be used even if it isn't enabled.

Also, that "Later kernels" thing has already arrived.  I believe it was 
implemented in 2.6.35.
