Could I trouble you to be more specific as to the duration of "long enough" :)? I think my patience ran out after about 15-20 minutes. So it eventually boots without disabling xhci, but the USB doesn't work in the end anyway? I'm installing via an IPMI virtual serial port so the lack of keyboard isn't really an issue for me, I can live without USB but as the box won't be going live for a few weeks I thought I'd see if any devs wanted me to try anything on it before I just moved forward without USB support. I've got -current set up to ready to patch and compile to test stuff on it if I can. It would be nice to get it working for situations like yours where it's needed. I booted a FreeBSD 10.2 livecd on it, and that initialized the xhci chipset fine and usb devices seem to work ok. I tried to compare the drivers, they share a bit in common but they're also quite different and it doesn't help that I'm not really a low level driver guy 8-/. I'm sure the new Skylake stuff just needs some minor tweak to make it happy. Thanks...
