No I don't expect push back, several people have shown interest in
having usbredir support in the kernel for cases like this.

The existing usb-ip which currently is in staging is a rather poor
protocol which lacks support for any smarts like pre-queuing
urbs for isoc modes so as to make sure those work reliable, etc.
