> Are there ways to get around this ? PV USB front/back have not yet been accepted into the mainline Linux kernel and by extension are not available in Debian 8's kernel either. Juergen Gross from SuSE is working on mainlining those drivers now, if you are happy with building your own kernels then I'm sure he would be grateful for test reports etc. If you are a developer I'm sure he would welcome any help you can offer too. Look for recent postings from Jeurgen in the xen-devel, linux-kernel or linux-usb archives. (FYI AIUI usbback is going to become a userspace thing using libusb and not a kernel driver, I'm not really sure where it is going to live).
