self-NACK.  I'm intentionally holding off on pushing this series for
just a bit longer, even though it has ACKs, since the qemu counterpart
to this series is still not accepted upstream.

In particular, I'll need a v5 of this series because this particular
patch needs to check for ccid-card-emulated separately from
ccid-card-passthrough (rather than assuming that usb-ccid implies both
smartcard device implementations), now that the current upstream qemu
patch series has added a configure option to skip ccid-card-emulated
when NSS support is not desired.  I also plan to fold in support for
checking for spicevmc smartcard support at the same time (that is, I
need three separate feature bits, not just one).

I hope to post v5 later today.
