I hope you know what you're doing licensing-wise then. The xHCI driver is GPL v2, and that means any changes you make to it are going to have to be released as well. And if you're attempting to read the xHCI driver code to understand how you should write your own driver, then you may run into license troubles there. IANAL, so you should ask a good lawyer who knows open source licensing. As you're not trying to run the xHCI driver under Linux, I won't have time to answer your low-level questions about the driver. Neither will anyone else on the *Linux* USB mailing list. My job is to support USB 3.0 under Linux, so I have no time for other OSes.
