That's probably the best idea.  For the rare case where somebody really
does want to connect a device to the EHCI controller, you could add a
"companion" sysfs attribute file to xhci-hcd for runtime control, like
ehci-hcd's "companion" attribute.

(Yeah, I know this contradicts what I said earlier.  I changed my 
mind.)
