      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      We are trying to support windows11 on aarch64, One problem we are facing is libvirt cannot emulate USB CD-ROM drive, which prevents installing Windows and virtio drivers. Libvirt support is being added via RHEL-95749 which uses usb-bot to properly emulate the CD-ROM drive.

      USB_STORAGE_BOT is not enabled in the RH configs thus the device doesn't exist in the downstream builds. Since the device shares the implementation with usb-storage there's no extra maintenance burden in enabling this feature.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      libvirt-11.3.0-1.el10.aarch64
      kernel-6.12.0-89.el10.aarch64
      qemu-kvm-10.0.0-4.el10.aarch64

      Backgrounds: 

      • Virtio-win QE have done some tests on Windows 11 with downstream qemu-kvm ARM64, there are some general problems see refer 

      libvirt-11.5-0 already has the support for the new device.
