Introduces the Xen pvUSB frontend. With pvUSB it is possible for a Xen
domU to communicate with a USB device assigned to that domU. The
communication is all done via the pvUSB backend in a driver domain
(usually Dom0) which is owner of the physical device.
The code is taken from the pvUSB implementation in Xen done by Fujitsu
based on Linux kernel 2.6.18.
Changes from the original version are:
- port to upstream kernel
- put all code in just one source file
- move module to appropriate location in kernel tree
- adapt to Linux style guide
- minor code modifications to increase readability

A subdirectory for a single file? That seems like overkill, don't you
think? As this is a USB "host" driver, why not put it in that
directory?
As already suggested by David: I'll change this.
Also, last time these patches were posted, people asked why you can't
use libusb/usbfs instead, what happened with that? Or usbip?
Like David already said: this was the backend, which I'm currently
working on to be part of qemu using libusb.

Remove this, default should be 'n'.
Really? Don't you think default should be to use USB devices in Xen
guests? Kernels configured not to be able to run as Xen guests with
pv drivers won't have that module due to "depends on XEN".

Always run your patches through checkpatch.pl so people don't tell you
about the things that checkpatch.pl would have told you about...
I did (I'll change the indentation, of course):
./scripts/checkpatch.pl
