swaywm in dom0. Love it!I am now trying to attach my YubiKey USB dongle to the domU. It is resisting. I note that there is a spiffy new way to handle USB assignment. New as in less than 15 years old.

qemu having dropped support unintentionally for this in HVM domU's.Question:

- did the 2013 SummerCode produce results which are now in the source tree?
- am I just being bitten by the
qemuissue? - does
xenhave a future in FreeBSD? Specifically for dom0?
