Well, tested with your patch and - it works only half-way, or I'm doing
something wrong(I'm sure I do, but I don't know what).
I can see device(s) in % lsusb; in guest, however eg. USB flash disk can
be seen, but - that's all. Like it doesn't exist. It's just not there.
I've tried to comment in/out cgroups and it doesn't matter.

What I'm getting is:
"usb X: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address Y"

That can't be good :)

Damn, this is harder than I thought.

Thanks,
Zdenek
