Subject: [PATCH] Prefer sysfs for USB host devices
Scanning for devices via /sys/bus/usb/devices/ and using them via the
/dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device> character devices is the prefered method
on modern kernels, so try that first.
When using SELinux and libvirt, qemu will have access to /sys/bus/usb
but not /proc/bus/usb, so although the current code will work just
fine, it will generate SELinux AVC warnings.
