Just out of curiosity, how does a host controller manage to avoid working with external hubs? Is it a matter of power consumption? It seems to me that in all other respects a hub should appear the same as any other USB device. Or is it a question of whether the controller works when communicating with devices behind an external hub? And if it is, what is the difficulty?
