With my USB patches you can now do qemu -name VM1 ... -usb -usbdevice host:5.* which will dynamically grab any USB device that is attached to port 5. And you can start another instance with qemu -name VM2 ... -usb -usbdevice host:6.* and so on.That's what I meant by assigning to the VM. ie In the example above port5 is assigned to VM1 and port6 to VM2.
We might want to do this with other devices (disks maybe). Max
