I haven't yet looked at this properly, but on the one hand our current
setup deliberately does not add USB hubs to /dev/vboxusb, as VirtualBox
doesn't access them - your change would loose that - and on the other,
wouldn't this prevent the normal /dev/bus/usb device nodes from being
created?

Regards,

Michael
