It is part of usb.ko.
But we already have parts of usb.ko in GENERIC and the boot kernel for
some archs.

I see the following options:
1) add ehci to GENERIC and get some space by removing other drivers.
2) pull out usb from boot kernel and/or generic and change the
   installer to use the module.
3) add ehci to GENERIC, but not to boot kernel and let users install
   with USB 1.x fall-back support.

I personaly prefer option 2, but I need help with the installer.
Option 3 is easy to have.
