Hello all,

This is a heads up to any users of the hostusb hook of a proposed change
to the option syntax of the hook.

I've been working in the change below to allow the use of bus and device
IDs to identify a host USB device to attach to a guest :

Add the ability to use bus and device IDs with the hostusb hook.
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/17428/

This change results in the old option syntax no longer being accepted by
the hook. Instead only the new syntax will be accepted :

bus=octal:device=octal or vendor=hex:product:hex

Please let me know if you have any concerns regarding this change and
the lack of backward compatibility with the older option syntax.

Thanks in advance,

Lee
