Connection and disconnection of what?

In the example mentioned earlier, the GPIOs to power an on-board USB
hub would have to be initialized when the host controller was started.  
You wouldn't want to wait for the on-board hub to be detected, because
without those GPIOs set properly, it never would be discovered on the
USB bus.  Right?

Perhaps the platform-level code would need to hook into the places
where the discoverable bus is registered and unregistered.
