Two options of building patched QEMU-KVM 1.0 are considered bellow.

First one : Qemu-kvm 1.0 has been built based on branch qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir as of 12/29/2011. It contains all required usb redirection patches on top of QEMU-KVM 1.0 release

Second one : Patching QEMU-KVM 1.0 (core git tree) via extracted patches set to support USB redirection on Ubuntu Precise. Generating patches set via commands
$ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu
$ cd qemu
$ git checkout -B qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir origin/qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir
$ git format-patch -M -C –output-directory \
