The objections that Greg raised are all good ones.

But even aside from them, this patch doesn't actually do what the 
description says.  The patch doesn't remove the call to usb_add_hcd 
for the USB-3 bus.  If you simply skipped that call (and the 
corresponding call to usb_remove_hcd) when there are no 
ports on the root hub, none of the stuff in this patch would be needed.
