+For redirection to work, the virtual machine must have an USB2 EHCI controller

Supposedly we support usb3 redirection these days, which means a xhci
controller I think. Sounds like a good opportunity to document USB3
redirection?

It does sounds like good opportunity :), I will.
BTW Does anyone has ever succeed to redirect usb 3 device to windows guest?
Seems like the guest is missing usb 3 driver or something, and nothing was installed automatically
(tried with usbdk 1.0.17)
