  Because live migration works with tablet on uhci. (related to my point 2 with hotplug)

 Oh, ok, I thinked it doesn't work only if physical usb device was attached to it, but not if the controller was alone.

>>If you configure a usbhost device with BUS-PORT you can hot-plug that device (physically). 

>>So do we really need hotplug of the ehci controller (why)? 


I was thinking about hot-pluging a usb device,after vm started without usb configuration.
Example : 
I have a host with a lot vm (40vm by exemple), it's impossible to map 1 bus-port to each vm.
And I want, time to time, plug a usb drive to some vm by exemple, to copy some data on it.
How Can I do it for the moment ?
