I've parked some working code, and I wanted to leave a pointer to it to end this thread.
That is, the sense was that usbredir was not appropriate for the linux kernel, because Intel was working on a driver implementing the Media Agnostic USB standard, and having a proliferation of drivers didn't make sense.
Stephanie and Sean of Intel tell me that they continue to progress on the ma-usb driver, so that all seems reasonable to me.
However, due to time and customer pressure, I made the usbredir kernel module, and a set of associated utilities, work reasonably well for a small set of use cases.
I've submitted that as an out of tree module build to the spice-devel mailing list. [1]
It works reasonably well, and may benefit someone else that cannot wait for ma-usb.
I felt it would be a courtesy to end this thread with this pointer; forgive me if it's unwanted noise.
Cheers,
Jeremy
