Neat. I was hoping I could use it to test my boot pens under VirtualBox,
but I haven't had much success. With EHCI support, the VM locks when
scanning the USB buses. Without EHCI, the system is *very* slow.

But it works faster under qemu, so at least it's better than -hda /dev/sdx for
tests.

Thanks,
Luciano Rocha
