Is it (or will itin the future be) possible to passthrough usb ports from a linux host to a windows guest, instead of passing though usb devices?



I have to pass through a device, which is not recognized by linux, but I do have drivers for it on Windows. How can I passthrough such a device to a windows guest machine?
