Would it make sense to just call this function libxl_device_usb_add and
fail if guest type is not HVM?

If we later add usb support to PV guests, I would prefer to avoid having
another libxl_pv_host_usb_add or libxl_pvh_host_usb_add.

Also you should add a "const libxl_asyncop_how *ao_how", even if this is
not an async op right now, we might want to make it async in the future.

Same here, libxl_device_usb_remove will probably be a better name to
keep in sync with the current device functions, and it's also missing a
"const libxl_asyncop_how *ao_how".

Is it possible to pass a libxl_device_host_usb *dev instead of an id? So
that the function resembles to the other _remove/_destroy functions.
