[kernel-xen] usbip kernel & userspace available for testing.

[Steven Haigh]

Hi all,

I've just pushed the following packages to the testing repo:
kernel-xen-3.12.5-1.2
usbip-utils-3.12.5-2

In a nutshell, these modifications allow to share a USB device over a
TCP/IP socket. This means you can easily pass USB devices to any DomU
without using the xen/qemu usb passthrough (which I had no success with).

To test this, I've used the Windows drivers to pass a USB printer
connected to a Dom0 to a Windows 7 HVM. I can print from my Windows 7
DomU without any problems.

You can access the testing repo via:
	http://au1.mirror.crc.id.au/repo/el6/testing.repo

The initscript and sysconfig files are written by me from the ground up
- so feedback on the entire setup of this would be appreciated.
