For example, I use the following command line to lautch qemu to play win7

 /home/huikai/qemu10/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -drive  
file=/root/win7_86.img,if=ide  -net user  -net  nic,model=rtl8139 
-localtime -chardev stdio,id=muxstdio -mon  chardev=muxstdio -usb 
-usbdevice tablet -spice port=2345,disable-ticketing -cdrom 
/home/guest/Fedora-15-i686-Live-Desktop.iso -boot once=d -usbdevice 
host:0000:7777

Here, I attatched two usbdevice tablet and a usb storage device 
"host:0000:7777" on the host side. After guest have booted.there will 
not see the usb storage device.
using monitor cmd "info usb" found the below:

 (qemu) info usb
  Device 0.1, Port 1, Speed 12 Mb/s, Product QEMU USB Tablet
  Device 0.3, Port 2, Speed 12 Mb/s, Product QEMU USB Hub
  Device 0.3, Port 2.1, Speed 480 Mb/s, Product host:2.4

the device "host:0000:7777" have not been configured successfully, guest 
OS can not to see it.

I traced qemu and found that there will be several reset cmd issued by 
the guest usb protocol stack during win7 booting, if we left the 
hub_reset to do nothing, the usbdevice attached to it will fail to be 
configured just in above case.
(If we "hot plug-in " a usb device via qemu's monitor, the problem is 
not so easy to be reproduced because the reset cmd only be issued only 
once or none)

(the problem is not always reproduced, but high possibility).
