Oh, hang on, it seems I misunderstood you in my previous reply. You
weren't talking about /dev/kvm, but the actual USB devices, for
propagating them through the kvm guest? In that case you really
shouldn't change anything. If the user can access those USB devices on
the host, then he should equally be able to access them on the guest,
since the kvm process runs under his user account and thus can use the
ACLs?
