So I bit the bullet and took a risk. I ordered the following xHCI USB 
3.0 card.

https://www.startech.com/au/Cards-Adapters/USB-3.0/Cards/PCI-Express-USB-3-Card-4-Dedicated-Channels-4-Port~PEXUSB3S44V

"1 x 4 Port PCI Express (PCIe) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Card Adapter w/ 4 
Dedicated 5Gbps Channels - UASP - SATA / LP4 Power (PEXUSB3S44V)"

Supposedly meets the following industry specs ...

  * USB 3.0 Specification Rev. 1.0
  * PCI Express Base Specification Rev. 2.0
  * Intel xHCI Specification Rev. 1.0

BUT, alas, no dice with Solaris 11.3.  Solaris recognises it as a xHCI USB 
device but marks the device (ports) as faulty.

A live boot to Linux confirmed that the card was operational.  I even dusted 
off an old *cough* Windows *cough* desktop to check and it worked perfectly 
fine in that environment as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to troubleshoot and get 
the device operational under Solaris 11?
