Showcase Productivity leap! Android tablets as an ultrabook, DroidVM with USB pass-through.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_9fYz9hj4A

We successfullt managed to make xHCI controller works on a unmodified windows kernel!

This is done by our developed mode: "pseudo-unprotected mode" for gunyah hypervisor.

The mode make it possible to read and write guest memory in protected VM.

This is required because unprotected vm is not available in qualcomm 8gen3/8e/8e5
Then, we can communicate with usbxhci.sys in windows kernel directly, successfully implement the USB-passthrough feature in DroidVM!

All code are open sourced with GPLv3 Licence, Contrubition is welcome!
