So with v2 I've achieved success as well with my CentOS 6.4 VM. Your
domain XML is shorter than mine (I'm using dumpxml --inactive) but
I'll post mine.

I did notice that the EHCI USB controller is missing on bus 2 slot 7
function 7. Not sure if I did something wrong there in my config or
we're still missing some of that plumbing.
