This is a headsup to say I'm still working on the USB split driver for 2.6. I have a version which works very well for a snapshot of the unstable tree from a few months ago and I'm currently in the process of updating it to the new xenbus and xenstore interfaces. My best guess at the moment is about 3 weeks before I have the code working again on the latest unstable tree. I have written a simple high-level interdomain communication API and have ported the USB back-end to this API. I'm working on porting the FE. After that I'll implement the API using xenbus/xenstore grant-tables etc. This split driver will allow you to allocate USB devices to guest domains. For the time being you can do what Mark suggested in his reply and map the key as a block device.
