Because - according to lsmod - the hcd is unused? Is it a foolish thing to mix up the fact your (f.e.) usbstick support HS so you better not rmmod ehci_hcd whereas the other usbstick has only FS and thus is managed by the companion ohci_hcd? Why do we have the ext3 module reporting use count >0 when any ext3-fs is mounted? Would one like to be forced to always check somewhere else (/etc/mtab, ifconfig, lsof...) before removing unused modules?
