Also applies to e.g. CDROM, etc.

We should probably only offer an option to attach the following types of devices to VMs:
- USB devices
- CD/DVD devices
It would be great if it was possible to easily disable USB class-driver auto-loading in Dom0. In other words, when somebody inserts a USB device, Dom0 should not attempt to load and execute a class driver, and especially, should not try to parse the device-provided info. That's why we should just attach/pass whole USB device, rather than concrete USB drivers.
We need PV USB support in DomU kernel for this, so let's postpone this task until we have a new kernel.

While we still have not decided on the actual method on how to expose USB disks to AppVMs (directly from Dom0, or from blockbacks from UsbVM, or via PVUSB from UsbVM), it makes sense to postpone this tasks until sometime later.

Currently the user must type a command in Dom0 console to connect USB to a VM. We want to offer this functionality from the Qubes Manager.
