I would leave everything else the same as it is now.  Simply prevent
all port switching if the boot flag is given.  That will keep 
everything nice and simple.

A slightly more complicated approach would be noxhci-port-switch=0xYY
where YY is a bitmask of the ports which should never be allowed to be 
switched.  (This becomes unwieldy if there is more than one xHCI 
controller on the motherboard, but I don't think Intel is making any 
systems like that.)
