FAOD, this all sounds good.  I have one comment on this:

We should invent, similar to the disk specification, a specification
for how to interpret a string referring to a usb device.  That can be
used by xl but also by libvirt and anyone else that wants to.

If we don't know right away how this will work, then we should come up
with a temporary arrangement which encodes bus.address in a region of
the string syntax space which we are confident we won't need in the
future for something else.
