This is my understanding of the current state of our USB ehci support: 
ehci only works with certain chipsets. On the ones that it does work with, 
you do not want to have a USB2 hub connected (With ehci in your config) as 
it will not be supported. Removing ehci from your kernel lets you use a 
USB2 hub in 1.1 mode.
