I'm not entirely sure it makes sense to unconditonally disable USB redir
for kiosk modes. I think it could well be reasonable to allow a user to
plug USB devices into the physical kiosk host and have them exposed to
the guest. This might suggest the need for a cli arg to disable
usb redir separately from kiosk mode.
