XCP-ng USB passthrough tools

A set of command line tools and a service to make setting up passthrough USB devices easier:

• attach-usb-devices - script and service to automatically connect USB devices to VMS when XCP-ng boots up
• plug-usb - attach a physical USB device to a VM in one command
• unplug-usb - remove a physical USB device from a VM in one command

To set up, copy the files onto your server and run install.sh to copy everything and set up the service. You can add any plug-usb commands you want to run on boot by modifying /usr/bin/attach-usb-devices.

You can also use plug-usb directly if you want to attach a new device on demand:

# You can use xe vusb-list and xe vm-list to figure out the IDs you need
plug-usb <vusb-uuid> <vm-uuid>

If you want to unplug a device later, you can use unplug-usb:

unplug-usb <vusb-uuid>

You can list all physical USB devices available and get their UUIDs with xe pusb-list.
