(Get the code!)
Agreed, this is probably not fixable in terms of total functionality under Lucid (and possibly not even under Maverick), however there needs to be some sort of workaround in place especially as this is an LTS release. Within 6 months USB 3.0 ports will start to become standard across the board.
In my humble opinion, blacklisting XHCI is a totally workable solution given that the ports will continue to operate as USB 2.0 ports. There are precious few USB 3.0 devices available yet, and those devices will work fine as USB 2.0 devices if that's all the system is supporting. The most important questions in my mind would be:
- Will the system suspend/resume?
- Do the USB ports work when devices are plugged in to them?
Those two issues are far more important than "Do the ports work at full USB 3.0 speeds even though there are no current devices that can make use of that capacity?"
