Hi,

You can try to look at the Linux XHCI driver, and the port switching support 
they have. It appears that because many old OS'es does not support USB 3.0 out 
of the box, mainboards come with EHCI + XHCI and this requires some magic bit 
fidling, which is not in the FreeBSD XHCI driver.

My best quess.
