If the trans_usbg code can detect the host device is gone it should mark
client->status as Disconnected then wake up all pending requests
(something like p9_conn_cancel in trans_fd.c)
Sorry I haven't found time to test/review either; I'd still be
interested in running this in qemu for non-reg over using a real device
so need to spend a few minutes figuring out the exact command line
required.. I'll try to find some time this weekend
