Re: USB passthrough in QEMU

[Vitaly Shevtsov <shev.vt1984%gmail.com@localhost>]

It seems I've got what the issue is. If I type 'info usbhost' In QEMU
monitor, I can see only two devices: Integrated SmartCard Reader,
Biometric Coprocessor. So only these two can be pass-throughed. The
rest of host USB devices are not visible by QEMU and therefore cannot
be used in guests.
