I don't imagine anybody's tested trying to get USB passthrough to
work on Macs. If it works it will be by happy side effect of the code
written for and tested on Linux happening to work.

It may not help, but it would be useful to try against a newer version
of QEMU, ie 2.1. You'll need to make sure you have the libusb
dev libraries installed so our configure can find them.
