Ovirt is based on libvirt. libvirt is a library that interfaces with about 15
different virtualization technologies - so the answer is "it depends."
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Main_Page may be helpful.

Don't know about serial port passthru - may demand vt-d support and a PCI card
if it even works.  USB passthru is v2.0 only, no USB3 for KVM VMs.  I don't know
about other VMs.

OTOH, I've never, ever, touched oVirt, but use libvirt constantly.
