I was wondering if we should actually expose this in the
XML, as a read-only attribute, only shown when requesting
the live XML. Otherwise there's no way for an application
to determine whether the USB device they requested was
actually given to the guest, without looking inside the
guest.


ACK to the other parts of the patch
