Hello,

I did a build this morning from HEAD with the XHCI change committed the other 
day and no change in status. The machine doesn't react at all to plug/unplug 
events.

I read through the XHCI spec and noticed that it allows MSI-X configuration but 
the current driver is MSI-only -- maybe this is related?

vmstat -i might help give an idea:

interrupt                          total       rate
cpu0:timer                         26368         22
irq264: xhci0                          1          0
