Bug Description

I created a bootable USB stick on my host. Then I tried to boot it inside one of my VMs using virt-manager.

What happened:
1) There is no easy way to select a USB disk in the boot order from Boot Options
2) In Boot Options, enabling "Enable Boot menu" makes it possible to press F12 and this should give easy access to a connected hosts USB device. Unfortunately the device does not show up in this menu (see attached).

What was expected:
-Boot options should show the USB device
-F12 should show the USB device
