 Replying to [comment:25 korli]:
 > I checked without and with the patch on the Intel Lynx Point. Both cases
 work (no lock on init), but the ports are still routed to the EHCI
 controller. I'll try to enable routing

 Yes. But earlier it was checking the wrong extended capability register.
 For jessicah's case, the USB Legacy Support capability register was
 located at 0x8460, but it was looking at 0x8480 and wrongly believing that
 the controller is BIOS owned.

 thread in USB manager, and HubDevice are allocated there. Could you
 explain a bit?

 The explore thread calls GetBusManager()->AllocateDevice(), which in turn
 checks whether the newly connected device is a hub or a function.
 AllocateDevice() was made virtual in
 https://github.com/haiku/haiku/commit/319a3798bc05579e8be813c2524bc89864bae489,
 and we (re)implement it for XHCI. As a result, Hubs were getting allocated
 as devices. Also, we need to initialise the slot context accordingly for
 hubs.

 P.S. -> Yes, routing needs to be enabled for both, Panther Point and Lynx
 Point. I can look into this, if you are busy!
