I've been following this thread with interest. Having USB passthrough 
for xl will certainly be an appreciated feature.

Provided a USB-device structure, enabling PVUSB is almost only a matter 
of writing to the xenstore. Please have a look at this script:
http://www.neobiker.de/wiki/index.php?title=XEN-PVUSB

It's a shell script that does the work. Of course, there's also a python 
implementation in the GIT. Perhaps we could at least have a USB-device 
structure before the feature freeze? Can you make the code that we have 
available? I'd like to see if I can do something with it, instead of 
having to start from nothing.
