You do realize this is already working for Linux with the code in the
main kernel tree?  Are you wanting to reimplement it, or does the
current solution somehow not work properly for you?

No, use a virtual USB host controller instead, like the current code
does.  Otherwise you would have to rewrite all usb drivers, which you
really don't want to do.

Please don't reinvent the wheel again :)
