It's okay with me -- I think. The real requirement is that this code
needs to run before any devices that share an IRQ with a USB controller
can have their IRQ handler registered. That may not always be possible,
but we should come as close as we can.
Hot-plugged controllers don't matter, because this code only needs to
handle hardware that the BIOS may have initialized.
