If what libusb presented QEMU was actually implemented as USB-over-IP, QEMU wouldn't know the difference at all. I think it would also be very useful to be able for libusb-based applications to work with remote devices. What is unclear to me is what role QEMU would play in setting up remove USB-over-IP devices. Pushing it down to the libusb layer completely takes QEMU out the picture which creates a clean separation layer. There are emulated devices in QEMU which we create and control and then there are passthrough devices that QEMU doesn't have any role in creating.
