Problem hiding USB host controller

Hi,

I'm trying to passthrough a USB host controller (2.0 or 3.0) but there
seems to be some kind of problem.

# uname -a

VT-d is enabled in bios.
CPU is a Intel Xeon E3-1246v3 Haswell

Only the 1:0:0 disk controler is hidden.  The two USB controllers, one
ehci and one xhci are not.

Why don't the controllers get hidden?
Is the blackhole_load="YES" still relevant?  I tried with and without
that line to no avail.
Is my STABLE version too old?

PS.  Keep up the excellent work bringing
