Why is that a problem, you could:
* Get an usb cable with two "host" connectors: one on for the target
  laptop, another one for the 5v power, and the usual one for the
  rasberry side.
  Such cables were common for mini-usb, for instance for hard disks
  that didn't have enough power with only one usb port.
  So you could get one, or make one, or make someone do it for you.
* You may even not need such cable when testing g_dbgp and the
  kernel's earlyprintk.
