You can use the usb block device directly as a hard disk "image". ie something 
like
qemu -hdb /dev/sda ...

Obviously the guest will see it as an IDE drive, and hotpluging hasn't got a 
hope of working, but it's probably near enough for most purposes.

Note that you should never mount the same device on both the host and the 
guest at the same time. Doing so will cause data corruption.
