I used that tone because it really is simple and if you can't/won't
recompile the kernel before throwing the baby out despite with the bath
water then you really don't have the skills/desire needed to use Unix
effectively...  Just to show how trivial it really is

1. Edit /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC (or i386 instead of amd64 if your
still using it) to comment out the xhci line (line 327 in 12.2-RELASE-pl3)
to remove USB 3.0 support
2. cd /usr/src
3. make kernel
4. etcupdate
5. reboot

Done.... how hard is that?
