xl PVUSB pass-through

Good Morning:

Our Xen clusters depend heavily on that feature. The lack of it prevents 
us from transitioning to the new toolstack. Currently we use PVUSB to 
attach a USB Smartcard reader through our dom0 (SLES 11 SP1) running on 
an HP Blade Server with the Token mounted on an internal USB Port to our 
domU CA server (SLES 11)

I'd like to know how likely it is to make it to the next release. Does 
anyone have a solution that doesn't require PVUSB? I'd like to give a 
hand if that can help making PVUSB part of Xen 4.3.

Thanks

Stefan
