Not exactly what I suggested. My idea was a sort of USB proxy (emulator) to allow software like Chrome to access USB bus in secure way (like if you can configure what do you want to expose and what you don't). Smth like vscsi midlayer accessible from user-land which user in control of. Chrome uses only sort of vusb hub/bus with only permitted devices behind. Also useful for usb camera/sound access control.
