Sounds right.  On a PC I just built, modules ohci_hcd, xhci_hcd, and ehci_hcd 
all get loaded.  Via '/sbin/modinfo <module>' it looks like:

   ohci_hcd -> USB 1.1
   ehci_hcd -> USB 2.0
   xhci_hcd -> doesn't say, but follows that it's likely for USB 3.0

Sounds right.  [I don't have any USB 3.0 devices to test this box with, but I
