FWIK q35 is not supported now on xen.
Anyone on this?

Based on Anthony Liguori reply the usb2 hardcoded parameter should be 
stable and will be supported in future:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-07/msg01692.html

There is also reply of Ian Jackson:

I had also posted v4 of patch:

Reposted the tests results:

Tested on linux domU (ubuntu 12.04 64 bit) with usb redirection:
- with usb1 and usb2 working and no problem found.

- with usb3 linux sees the usb3 controller but usbredirection not 
working (tested with qemu 1.3 of xen-unstable)
Tested on windows 7 pro 64 bit domU with usb redirection:

- with usb1 not working, windows sees the usb devices (flash mass 
storage) with error (unable to start device, code 10); seems
windows bugs.

- with usb2 working and no problem found.

- with usb3 not working, windows sees the usb controller but 
usbredirection is not working (tested with qemu 1.3 of xen-unstable)
About usb3 seems that qemu does not support some functionalities for now.

Qemu log on usb3 test:
xhci_cap_read: reg 2 unimplemented
xhci: unimplemented command 52
xhci: ERDP out of bounds: 7e7d5000
xhci: ER[7] at 0 len 0
xhci: asserted controller error
xhci: ERDP out of bounds: 7eace000
xhci: ER[6] at 0 len 0
xhci: asserted controller error
...
xhci: slot 1 has no device
xhci: error firing data transfer



There wasn't any reply about this for one month. usb1 controller is 
already supported by xen but it has some problems with latest windows. 
usb2 works with both linux and windows but it needs this patch or a 
similar one to add support on xen. usb3 can be removed for now if 
someone think unimplemented functions are a problem.
Thanks for any reply.
