Since I found the following comment from Thomas before I submitted,
I didn't add such the other *_hcd structures to avoid complicate.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1697250/focus=73028
(This comment was written in last year though...)

The current code has "extra_priv_size" like the following patch.
So, can we add "priv" to xhci_hcd like the other *_hcd structures?
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=cd33a32157e42483ffea31e32b1cee4f11ff9592

Anyway, I will investigate this "extra_priv_size".
