To tell the truth, I have no idea. There probably aren't enough USB-3
products in existence yet to tell -- not to mention that with the
existing code, we wouldn't detect any exceptions.
It sounds reasonable... But won't a USB-3 device running at high speed
provide a device descriptor that has bcdUSB set to 0x0210? (See the
second paragraph of section 9.6.1 in the USB-3.1 spec.)
