Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Prefer sysfs for USB host devices

Scanning for devices via /sys/bus/usb/devices/ and using them via the

/dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device> character devices is the prefered method

on modern kernels, so try that first.

When using SELinux and libvirt, qemu will have access to /sys/bus/usb

but not /proc/bus/usb, so although the current code will work just

fine, it will generate SELinux AVC warnings.
