Title:
  RFE: Allow specifying usb-host device by serial number

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently you can pass through a host USB device to the guest like

    -device usb-host,vendorid=0x1234,productid=0x5678

  Which is all well and good, but has problems if you are trying to
  assign to identical USB devices to the same guest.

  It would be useful if there was an additional option that allow
  matching against the device's serial number, which should allow
  differentiating between two devices with the same product+vendor.
