At home I have external USB keyboard and mouse, so yes, it is built in. 
It would be difficult to unload and reload it each time I connect something.

I have read in ICH8M datasheet about special feature of reducing USB

something about it?

%sysctl -a | grep cx_
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C2
dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/1 C3/57
dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest: C2
dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 0.00% 100.00% 0.00%
dev.cpu.1.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/1 C3/57
