The address you see with the monitor command "info usb" is the address
all usb devices start out with when connected to the guest.  The guest
os will later assign the device an address on bus 0 (the uhci controller
on the i386 system target) after it does things like fetch the device
descriptor, configuration, etc.  iirc linux will first assign a device
an address unlike windows which queries for the configuration
information before an address is assigned.
