Oh well, I completely misunderstood its purpose. I thought it was
just the implementation detail of using USB/IP devices on the local
host.

Anyway, it does not talk usbredir and it's not in userspace, so my
work isn't totally pointless. If you can point me to a translator
of usbredir to usbip or something equivalent, I can take the next
week off ;-)

Thanks for telling,
