Is this something that should just live in libusb?

If what libusb presented QEMU was actually implemented as USB-over-IP, 
QEMU wouldn't know the difference at all.  I think it would also be very 
useful to be able for libusb-based applications to work with remote devices.

What is unclear to me is what role QEMU would play in setting up remove 
USB-over-IP devices.  Pushing it down to the libusb layer completely 
takes QEMU out the picture which creates a clean separation layer.  
There are emulated devices in QEMU which we create and control and then 
there are passthrough devices that QEMU doesn't have any role in creating.

Anthony Liguori
