The only thing stopping me from saying "deal." is that this darn
things is presently a pci quirk. So it happens well before the user
has a chance to manually override it with a debugfs file.

Let me look into delaying the quirk until the driver loads, because
ideally the right interface for this is "blacklist xhci_hcd" in
/etc/modprobe.conf.
