                         USBController->vtbl->CreateDeviceFilter(USBController,
                                                                 filternameUtf16,

In case virAsprintf fails CreateDeviceFilter will be called with
filternameUtf16 = NULL, that might trigger a segfault.

Good catch. I'll respin this patch as part of my round 3 cleanups (more openvz_driver changes, and virsh.c, still to come). It may be another day or two...
