This is a pity :

KVM -> Cortex A15 (ok or A17 or A57) -> Host A15 -> Guest A15 -> NO USB

And seen in the doc the way you should pass the USB keyboard or Mouse to 
the guest (which only emulates PS2), I'm wondering if you can get any 
input from the graphic window (not even speaking about X11 at first, 
even command line..). We manage to get the prompt on the tty1 console in 
the graphic windows, by sending via monitor sendkey ctr-alt-f1 but do 
not manage to have any input there

Is there a way to map Linux host USB keyboard and mouse on Linux guest 
PS2 emulation we see on the guest?
