I think I  will remove this particular patch. After investigating a
little more, it appears that 'dev' is not something you can ever
assign from the host. The guest OS assigns 'dev' on the fly when
it activates the USB device. We might be able to assign 'bus' from
the host, but QEMU doesn't currently allow it. We can always re-add
this patch later when needed.
