abill, like I've told you so many times. It already works, the reason host mode was chosen over otg is specifically because it does not require any wiring changes. It will not drain the battery when a usb hub is being used, and should even be possible to simultaneously charge at the same time. All host mode needs is a little kernel tinkering to get it to work reliably and easily.
