USB controller themselves never cared about highmem, drivers did. For PIO based controllers they'd have to kmap any address no in the kernel drirect mapping. Nothing in drivers/usb/host or the other diretories related to host drivers calls page_address (only used in a single gadget) or sg_virt (only used in a few upper level drivers), which makes me assume semi-confidently that no USB host driver is not highmem aware these days. Greg, does this match your observation as the USB maintainer?
