I have no need at the moment to support a specific device. I recently
I had built a machine for a client with virtual machines accessing
physical scanners, which I ended up using vt-d / usb controller. In
hindsight it looks like pvusb would be more ideal and would probably
perform good enough to support this type of a setup. I'd be glad to
help test some devices if it would help get this working.
