I had 2 smartcard readers for 10 years connected to different virtual
machines. This worked for me all these years:

 <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'>
      <source>
        <vendor id='0x08e6'/>
        <product id='0x3478'/>
      </source>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='4'/>
 </hostdev>

kind regards
