Same problem with qemu 2.8 from Ubuntu Cloud Archive.
Is that enough to consider the bug highly likely in latest upstream version
too? I don't have a QEMU build system at hand right now..

Title:
Passthrough USB Host Keyboard doesn't work on Q35 platform on boot-up
Status in QEMU:
New
Status in qemu-kvm package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Using qemu-kvm as shipped with Ubuntu 16.04, I cannot get a passed-
through USB Host Keyboard to work at boot-up using the Q35 platform.
My minimal example to verify this bug is the following:
qemu-system-x86_64 -M q35 -m 128 -cdrom mini.iso -usb -usbdevice
host:04ca:005a -vnc :1 -display none
Using a noname USB Keyboard with ID 04ca:005a and the Ubuntu 16.04
NetBoot mini.iso, I can see the boot screen of the Ubuntu ISO through
VNC, but pressing the arrow keys doesn't do anything.
By taking out the "-M q35" parameter, QEMU switches to the traditional
i440FX system. The passed-through USB Host Keyboard works there, but
the old platform is no option for me.
