Yash - assigning to you since I assume you know what needs to be done to enable. If this should be on the maintainers plate, then sent it to Danilo to parcel out.

Comment 2 howard.zhang 2023-08-24 02:23:19 UTC

Thank you for your responses regarding this matter. Enabling USB device passthrough to a virtual machine is a frequently encountered user scenario. KubeVirt employs USB redirection to fulfill this functionality. This is why we require this package on Arm64 architecture.
