The Novell patch is not needed.

I based my patch on combining Robert Schiele's approach with the
existing USB file-system mechanisms so that QEMU/KVM can detect and use
any of them it finds, with the order of preference being
sys-fs, /dev/bus/, or /proc/bus/.

To confirm this the code should show, in part:

 * This code is based on Robert Schiele's original patches posted to
 * the Novell bug-tracker https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241950
