There are still no commit log with any indication explaining why we want
to make things asynchronous. This blocking should be mentioned
somewhere, as well as the exact usbredir/libusb method which is
blocking. If I remember correctly, it's libusb_open() in
spice_usbredir_channel_open_device which can be blocking when usbdk is
used (any more specific way to hit this issue?), but this really needs
to be very well explained in one of the commit logs.
