Yes, thats my error, sorry for causing extra work...
i compiled qemu 1.5.1 now with your patchset.
but now i qemu shuts down with this error when windows
tries to start:

qemu-system-x86_64: hw/usb/core.c:413: usb_handle_packet: Zusicherung
»p->ep->type != 3 || (dev->flags & (1 << USB_DEV_FLAG_IS_HOST))« nicht
erfüllt.
